Have you ever Googled “I’m bored”? Tried playing tic tac toe with yourself? Started talking to the pets? If so, then you definitely need some decent time killers in your life. Sometimes, we just have too much time on our hands and need something to fill it with. Instead of hitting your head against a brick wall, have a look at these top three time killers (the best ones in the world, ever)!

1) BRAIN GAMES

If you’ve found that a few hours of boredom causes you to dribble, and forget how to spell, then you need something to motivate your brain. Keeping your brain active will not only keep you from going mad, it will also take up more time than you thought. There are loads of different types of games you can have a go at, it all depends how much brain training you want! If you want to look like something out of Predator, then you can have someone measure your brain activity like the guy in the picture, to see if your brain games are working! Playing solitaire is great, but will only highlight your loneliness. Opt for word games, or something that requires the use of numbers, shapes or pictures. Casino games such as Blackjack are great to get the brain going, and have the added benefit of winning you money. Pick up the latest paper and fill in all their crosswords, Sudoku puzzles and anything else they have. Before you know it, you’ll have finished them all and will have resorted to drawing mustaches on people’s pictures.

2) PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF CATS/DOG/BABIES/OTHER CUTE OR WEIRD STUFF

There’s nothing most of us like doing more than going through pictures of ‘stuff’ on the internet. We may never have been interested in sloths before, but all of a sudden you’re scrolling through a website full of pictures and videos of the creatures. There’s dogs with food on them, cats in hats, babies wearing animal outfits, people jumping off stupidly high ledges, see through fish, and we could go on forever. You won’t believe how quickly time goes if you start flicking through ‘suggested videos’ on YouTube, or recommended pages on StumbleUpon. Before you know it, it’s dinner time and that leads us onto the third and final time killer…

3) EATING

Whether you like it or not, eating is actually one of the best time killers in the World! Well, we think so anyway. As long as you’re not trying to kill five hours using chicken wings, it’s unlikely to do you much harm. The best time killing property of eating is that you normally have to cook, or prepare, the food first. By the time you’ve picked what you want, made it and then sat down to eat it, you’ll realize you don’t have much time left at all. Plus, you can get creative with the type of food you eat. My personal favorite is making little people out of fruit and veg, and then creating them a sandwich skyscraper to live in. Okay, I know I have too much time… I’ve just written an article about time wasting haven’t I?

That was a good hour killed, now I’m going to play some slots whilst videos of dancing dogs are playing in the background, and my melon man pops into tuna tower.
