How to make your dull day a little more interesting: On the show Mythbusters, before they do anything, they always announce what they're going to do and then count down from three: "Firing in 3...2...1..." and then they fire the gun or whatever. "Electrocution test in 3...2...1..." and then they pull the switch.
I think we can all incorporate this weird behavior in our own lives. "Saying grace in 3...2...1...", or "brushing teeth in 3...2...1..." or, "coffee break in 3...2...1..."
It might help break up a dull day (if you have those) or at least annoy or entertain those around you.
This has been a tip from Dan Manning, who is waiting for the damn phone to ring (in 3...2...1...)
This is my web log, where I write stuff.
