What are some handy multitask things you like to do while you're waiting for compiles or builds to finish?

I reply to emails on a different monitor. On a different subject, I try to write code in a way that I can make best use of the debugger in an effort to compile less frequently. For example, comment code out by doing things like U8 gate_var = 0; if (gate_var) { };, as opposed to #ifdef GATE_VAR//#endif. I can change the value of gate_var while stepping through with the debugger.
