Write more.
If I knew how to write more, maybe I would.
Eat, drink, repeat. Nothing makes a fast easier, plus you get to watch your co-workers drool.
bpt- so now we know the truth- you’re not fasting?!!?!?
I think he is saying the easiest way to fast is to not.
Change your bed sheets. That got me through 8 minutes!
“so now we know the truth”
Yeah. About my co-workers. It works for them, and I’m drooling!
The “best” tanis I had was when I called up a former chavrusa from yeshivah and for six hours straight (remember it was a taanis, no coffee break) we reviewed what we learned 10 years before in yeshivah.
And I had my luck of spending 3 hours on my feet out in the sweltering sun by my mechanic. Then comes along a fellow and gulp down a cup of cold drink. In my presence. I almost fainted. Really!
Go to an area with a shorter day. I’m in Europe what the fast ended at 10:37pm local time! My fast ended up being 22 hours — almost as long as Yom Kippur!!!
Maybe read about why we fast. It will ake it mean something and it will make tome go by.
I tried focusing on the reasons for this fast, and the tragedy that already happened even before today.
SLEEP! Nothing better!
Make the day MEANINGFUL rather than let the day slip by…
Choose extra ????? & do it in a niftar’s name (I chose Leiby Kletzky). R Goldwasser mentioned even smiling to people & saying hello to those whom you wouldn’t ordinarily greet. Split sefer Tehillim among others to complete the sefer that day.
There are a myriad of possibilities to choose.

do something that will keep you preoccupied and keep your mind off of food
Cook.and bake. It’s surprisingly effective.
Listen to a shiur. Torahanytime.com has them organized by topic so there would probably be a 3 weeks section on the home page
