What do you do with your ‘waiting time’

[PontypandyPioneer]

What do you do with your ‘waiting time’? Those few minutes waiting for kids to finish school, when you’re waiting for docs, dentist etc appts? Waiting for a bus?

I’m sure there’s lots of more productive things to do instead of mindless scrolling!

Omg I'm waiting for dd to sleep

It's been 2 hours! And tbh I've been scrolling mn, Pinterest, watching two doors down on low (i can't sit for 2 hours in silence)

wordgames like wordle / octordle / duotrigordle / waffle / squardle etc

check emails

Hmm.. I enjoy some quiet time off my phone if I’m in a waiting room. When I used to do the school run I’d walk the longer way if I had spare time to get more steps in.
If I’m at home waiting for something I do what I call a quick pick up which means making sure everything is in its home, in the bin or in the wash.

Weekly online food shop

Read. I have my kindle app on my phone if I don't have my book!

sudoku

If I've only a few minutes I'm doing admin. Checking emails, setting reminders, doing next week's meal plan or shopping list.

Reading. At home, I read paper books, but these are the moments a kindle was made for.

Running analysis of different topics on Chatgpt via the mobile app.

Filling this time was one of my biggest problems when quitting smoking! I smoked rollies so had a 3-min, 5-min, 8-min cig down to a science.
I'm afraid I now scroll on my phone

Wordle etc

I listen to books, read books or just look around at nothing in particular!
