What do you do when you have 5 minutes to spare?

2 points by kjgarbutt 3y ago ↗ HN

I'm trying to avoid doom scrolling on Instagram or Twitter or just re-reading the headlines when I have a few minutes to spare. I would grab my Kindle but I don't find reading a page at a time very satisfying. Any suggestions? Something fun or educational would be nice.

Try sudoku. It's very rewarding to do harder and harder puzzles in just five minutes.

Also, if possible, I like to step outside for a few minutes, i.e. in-between meetings when you can't really start anything new. Breathing some fresh air, getting a bit of peace... Ah, the dream.
