Possible hunger aside, time is your biggest op while fasting. It’s painfully slow and drab on most days. But what if we told you there are ways to embrace delulu and willfully believe that an angel in heaven’s time management department has pressed fast forward?
Embrace hard labour
You know how you can get into house chores very early in the morning and next thing you know, it’s 3 p.m? Exactly. Hard labour speeds up time.
Don’t work from home
Let’s just say time moves faster when you’re not in your house during Ramadan. By the time capitalism and Naija traffic finishes with you, 7 p.m. for don knack.
Remove every time-tracking device
Deactivate the clock on your phone, gather your wristwatches and lock ‘em up for a month. Finally, remove batteries from the clocks in your house. The day moves faster when you have no sense of time.
And divide the day into prayers
Don’t think of the day in hours during Ramadan; think of it in prayers. Let’s do the maths: After you pray Dhuhr, remind yourself there are two prayers left. After Asr, there is one prayer left, and when you pray Maghrib you’re done. 3 prayers >>> 14 hours.
Avoid sleep
True OGs know that 10 hours of Ramadan sleep is one hour of sleep in real life. So therefore, thou shall not slumber. Stay woke.
Trek-a-thon
Instead of sitting your ass in a private or public ride, hit the ground walking. That one hour road trip will be four hours by foot. Before you get to your destination, time to break for don reach.
Remember, Ramadan is low key the official fitfam month for Muslims, so it doesn’t hurt.
Plan a mosque tour
Most mosques run daily lecturing programmes during Ramadan. Set out every day with at least seven new addresses. Before you reach the sixth or seventh location, it’ll almost be time to break.
