Coming up with a solution way more complicated than "studying". Brilliant!

I mean, there are things that you are just more interested in than others.

Tinkering with electronics and coding some kind of "complicated" method of cheating for some people would be way easier than studying, especially if the cheating is through something that already is your hobby.

I can work on my motorcycle and fix various things for hours and not mind a thing, but if you ask me to study a chapter from my production management textbook, I'm going to complain all the way

I definitely have not been ignoring my project and product management LinkedIn Learning courses in favor of Tinkering with mechanical keyboards. Definitely not.

We used to make super realistic looking Coke labels and put all the formulas in tiny print where the ingredients would normally be. Definitely took a lot of work, but it beat studying!
