Step 1: Play mind games.
These are the sorts you don't need to do anything other than sit there and stare ahead, acting as if you're listening but you're really miles away thinking about completely different things.
Try stacking people on top of each other in your mind's eye.
This will for sure entertain you for an extended period of time since people are all different.
With your mind, see how many people fit in the given room you’re in by stacking them.
Perfect for when you cannot focus on one more word and want to get through this class.
Count how many hairs you have on your entire head.
Warning! Do this only if extremely bored.
Since singular hairs are small and hard to count, this will take a whole lot of time and before you know it, the class will be over! This might become aggravating at times but at least you’re learning how to be patient. -

Test yourself.
