What do you do to keep yourself occupied when you are being talked at? (lemmygrad.ml)

In being subjected to both church and uneducational classes at school I am left with time to hypothetically do things, yet many activities are precluded. As a human being I have finite time yet vast options which I would like to pursue. I consider these frequent instances as complete wastes of time. Yet I remember the stoic teaching about focusing on what you can control. I am prohibited from having my phone (too obviously) or anything in/covering my ears. I would like to read, but the voices are distracting. My rubik's cube is considered too loud. Meditation is also impossible. Any advice/suggestions?

I do try to read in those times, it just can be too hard to focus.

I guess meditation is going to be an useful exercise for you. To learn how to control focus and attention, despite of the noise around you... Helps with the reading, too. :)

Maybe, I just don’t do it enough. I’m a procrastinator.
