Thats why you also get rid of the pen, the paper, the table, the chair, the hands, the floor, the celling, the walls, the doors, the windows, the Earth, Pluto and the head
What a wonderful distraction free moment to completely disassociate and have a funky wunky little 3 hour mind adventure
Draw on the back of the homework. Draw in the margins. Turn the letters into little characters. Develop a story about them. Disassemble the pen. Try to figure out the click mechanism. Reassemble the pen. Turn it into a little catapult. Lose a piece behind the desk. Search for it. Find an interesting label on the bottom of the desk. Wonder why your desk was made in one country, assembled in another and quality checked in a third. Find one parts. Reassemble pen. Daydream about life of person who’s job it is to look at desks and say “yup, that’s a good desk”. Start to answer a homework question and become so overwhelmed with boredom you need to take a break.
Draw on the back of the homework. Draw in the margins.

How does the pen work?
Yay, I love disassembly time!
Joke’s on you, I’m a habitual daydreamer. I don’t even NEED hands. I am distraction itself.
I need to have my most reliable mild distractions with me so that I don’t get extremely distracted by reaching for distractions that aren’t there.
“I have hands”
Get rid of that distraction too.
Joke’s on us, I am the distraction.
