Bored out of my mind during follicular phase

I ovulate on CD17 so I have more than 2 weeks of not being pregnant and not trying to get pregnant. Ovulation is fun for obvious reasons, the TWW is long but also fun as I get to spend my days googling symptoms and trying to figure out if I'm pregnant.
My job isn't particularly demanding and I spend a lot of it waiting for something to do. I fill this time with lots and lots of phone scrolling and I find myself super bored if this scrolling isn't related to symptoms, pregnancy, etc. As it's basically the only thing on my mind right now and googling stuff scratches that itch quite nicely.

Anybody got an recommendations for distracting myself and others with a long follicular phase?

Could you try to get more work while at work?
There is so much stuff on the internet, it just depends what rocks you’d boat: current affairs, floristry, gardening, cooking, Americans talking about the English.
I read a nineteenth century French novel (in French) in work time. I wish I could boast I’d written a novel in work time. Others have though. I don’t suppose that helps much, but good luck!

I started knitting and stuff like that last winter. Other things I like to do but don't find time: Yoga (recommend Yoga with Adrienne, she has great 30 day challenges on YouTube, all free), paint by numbers, YouTube / Podcast especially if you're into murder mystery stuff... Reorganising our apartment, I love improving rooms, as I'm not a natural very tidy person I love to learn stuff like that. Oh and languages. When I have time I practice Spanish with apps like Babel.

If you want TTC stuff that makes you feel like you're being proactive during that time read It Starts with the Egg and focus on all the things you can be doing to get your body in the best possible state for pregnancy.
