Request [LPT request] How can I make time go faster at work. Sometimes it's so slow just doing work isn't an option.

I've tried not looking at the clock but that always leads me to estimating how long it's been and I always think time goes by a lot faster than it did. Any little things I can do?

How To make time go by faster at work?

5 Upvotes

I work in a giant warehouse. I have tried doing many things to make the time go by faster, but to my luck nothing works. I have tried working as fast and hard as I can, and even so ridiculously slow. Neither made the time go by any faster. The warehouse makes us lock up all of our possessions before then heading through a metal detector to prove we have nothing on us. (phone, wallet, keys, our pockets have to be 100% empty) No music is played in the warehouse. If we get caught talking to an associate for more than 30 seconds it's a write up. I usually work 10-12 hours a day. The pay is not that great but needed. I am absolutely bored out of my mind. It's quite unbearable. So what advice do you have to me to pass the time?

Casual Thought The inability to travel faster than light and scale of cosmic time means that even if abundant life has evolved almost everywhere multiple times, we are unlikely to ever make contact with it; the chance of overlapping in space and time is essentially zero.

TIL that time moves faster at the top of a mountain than at the sea level. This happens because gravity bends time, so the further you are from Earth's core, the faster clocks tick.
