What do to with small bits of time?

[ChristopherWSmith]

Hey everyone,

I'm on Day 2 of this journey of not gaming.  One of the difficulties I've had in past attempts to quit gaming is, "what do I do with my short bits of time (3, 5, 10 min)?"  Work is stressful and in between calls I would open up a game on my phone and take a short break to relieve the stress.  I'd like to use this time more productively, but I don't want to spend it on my work, or my side business - or mindlessly on social media.  Any suggestions on what I can do with these short bits?

If this is in the course, please let me know - I'm only just starting Module 2.

I usually take a real break. Not doing anything just watching outside the window or so. 5min pass so fast after an hour of hard work.

I usually get up and stretch my arms, legs, neck, and back and then go for a quick walk. Something unrelated to calling, computers, and social media will be refreshing. Maybe fill your water.

Taking a small walk to get some water and then looking outside though the window while sipping the water is my go-to. 

I might also plan what I want to do in the evening or tidy up my surroundings
