Q&A for How to Make Time Go by Faster

Bring something to the airport to entertain yourself with while you wait for your flight. Listen to music on your phone or bring a good book with you to pass the time.

Consider making friends with other new parents in your area and getting together for "play dates" to get out of the house and enjoy passing the time. You may also consider taking walks somewhere outdoors, like a park, while pushing your daughter in a stroller.

Watch TV, read a book, imagine what it will be like once you get to her house, go outside and enjoy nature, play with pets/siblings/parents, search the web for cool games, play solitaire, listen to music, grab a snack, or do anything else that sounds cool to you. Those are just some ideas to get you started.

Forget about it. If you're constantly waiting for something, it makes it seem farther and farther in the future. Don't stress over it and it'll be there before you know it.

Decorate the house, help your mother bake and cook, go around the neighbourhood wishing people Merry Christmas, call friends, write Christmas letters, tell your young siblings a Christmas story, curl up with a book and a mug of hot cocoa/tea/coffee and other hot beverages, etc. Remember that the key for passing time faster on any day is to have fun!

If you're at his office, play games on your phone or watch YouTube videos. If you need the WiFi password, go to the front desk, or find someone who is not busy and ask for it. Tell them you need to finish your homework.

Consider replying your old games and try to beat your score. Many video games also contain Easter eggs, unlockable characters, and secret levels. Read up on your games, and see whether or not you can unlock those secret levels, characters, weapons, etc. If all else fails, you can always binge watch the TV shows.

Research the fun thing you are doing, talk to your friends about it and take part in your hobbies to stay busy.

Make a playlist or listen to the radio or an audiobook. If you're driving with others, play fun road trip games like "I spy" and the grocery store game, or watch a movie, if possible.

Call your friend if you have contact. Make a movie. You can always clean your room, go shopping, take a nap, hang out with other friends. Just don't stress, the time will fly by.

Start playing your favorite game and just focus on the objective. You can also look into picking up some games that run in full screen mode and hide the clock. If you have to, cover up the clock with a bit of tape while you're playing.

Staying occupied will help pass the time faster. Consider doing a crossword puzzle, writing a letter, or reading a book. Try not to stare at your watch. Distract yourself by calling a friend, cleaning the house, or exercising.

Make time go faster for a fast -- find a few movies or a TV series that can keep you occupied for a few hours. Also, try to hang out with other people. You could play a board game or go out somewhere that doesn't require a lot of energy or involved eating. Alternatively, you could sleep and kill a few hours. You could also find some random activity to spend time in (for example, origami, building with blocks, drawing, jewelry making, etc). You could also contemplate why you're fasting, what you hope to gain from it and write about this in a journal.

Find something interesting to do. If you're bored to death, then try to find some exhibits that interests you. If the museum is completely boring, ask your grandparents if you can sit in the cafe till they're done. Then play games on your phone or tablet until they are ready. Or, you could be really cool and try to be interested in all the amazing things you could actually learn int he museum -- that'd be a first instead of telling yourself how bored you are all the time.

You could watch TV or movies; play video games; read a long book; bake/cook something; listen to music; draw/sketch; create something; go outside and take a walk; exercise.

Yes! Homework or reading books can be boring sometimes, but it's a good way to kill time. You will also learn something by the end of it. It also doesn't cost you anything, compared to watching TV or going out for coffee.

Start preparing for your trip--go shopping for new vacation clothes or travel-friendly items. Start making a list of what you want to bring in your carry-on or suitcase. Research your destination and find out what there is to do there. You may even be able to book tickets to events or make restaurant reservations online.

Do all the questions slowly and carefully. When you are done, reread everything and double-check your answers. If you still have time, you can turn the test in and read a book or doodle on a scrap of paper.

Paying attention in class can make the day go by faster because it will keep your mind occupied.

What if it were the other way around? Right now, at 13, you are able to wish for you to be 17. It's a wish that will, at some point come true. But what if at, say, 32, you wish to be 27? Wish as hard as you like, you will never be 27 again. However, you can think back to when you were 27. How would you like that memory to feel? Like a year wasted on your way to 32? Or one of the best years of your life? Sure, it's OK to look forward to being 17, but make sure that once you get there, you have an awesome 13th year of your life to look back upon. Don't forget to have fun now as well while you're waiting to be 17.

Make a list of names you could name your new dog, or go shopping for dog toys at the pet store.

A little nap should help. If not, maybe a shower or coffee, or eat an energy packed snack, like avocado or peanut butter toast, eggs, or oatmeal with lots of nuts.

Binge watch TV shows or play games. They will take your mind off everything and help you pass the time. If that doesn't work, try going out to local parks or landmarks, eating food or just shopping.

Go on your phone, play games, or watch television in another room. You can even make plans for your day or take an early morning shower.

Maybe hangout with your friends, have a couple of sleepovers and work on a hobby of yours.

If you're in class, listen to the teacher's lecture. If you're in a free period, ask the teacher if you can listen to music.

Try researching games that you could get. Also, you could do some research on the different functions, as well as the development process. This will help pass the time, and you'll be fully prepared when you get your PS4.

If they're available, invite a friend over, or go over to their house to do homework with each other. If none of your friends are available, then listen to music while doing your homework (as long as you don't find it too distracting). If you're doing homework for a long period of time (hours), make sure you take regular breaks.

Keep yourself occupied. Play video games, watch TV, or find a new hobby. You could call a friend every day, or take a walk. Anything you can do to take your mind off of him/her is a great idea. If you really can't stop thinking about them, maybe you could make them a "welcome back" gift.
