If I have nothing else to do, I tend to default to meditating. It requires no props, can be done anywhere at all, and is claimed by many to have some interesting and beneficial results if practiced routinely. On the short-term, it helps to calm and focus my mind and body so I can be closer to peak performance for the next thing I need to do.
The process I use for those interstitial moments is to try to identify all components of my current physical and cognitive experience for a given time span (set a timer… or don’t) or until I get interrupted by the next thing. I was surprised to learn how useful it is to do “nothing” for a while.
