Dull Challenges
1. Alphabetize a phone book – By hand, from A to Z, page after page, using colour coded tags. A-A, A-B, A-C etc.
2. Count grains of rice in a 10 pound bag – No tools allowed except a magnifying glass and tweezers (optional).
3. Watch paint dry – Paint and area of wall. Literally sit, time and monitor the drying process of multiple coats on various wall textures.
4. Transcribe the Urban Dictionary – Word for word in pencil, include all pronunciation keys and example sentences.
5. Sort a jar of mixed buttons by size and shade – Bonus points for labeling each pile with its Pantone equivalent.
6. Match identically shaped puzzle pieces from 10 large jigsaw puzzles mixed together – Without assembling the puzzles.
7. Track the evaporation rate of a glass of tap water – One measurement per hour, for a week.
8. Write “I love to procrastinate” 10,000 times – On lined paper, using your best handwriting.
9. Listen to an 8 hour loop of the Spotify Top Ten – No distractions allowed, and eyes must remain on a blank wall.
10. Identify and list every item in your most cluttered drawer – Create a spreadsheet with columns for weight, material, origin story, and frequency of use.
