I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I'm wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.

    -Get a lot of spam calls and texts

    -Read e-books

    -Keep email notifications up to remind me to check them on desktop

    -Watch Youtube to fall asleep

    -Listen to my work in progress songs between working on them, take notes on what to do next

      Read e-books

      There have been times when I have wanted to do that, especially when I forgot my physical book when I'm outside the home and I have some spare time…

      Regardless, I don't know why I never feel comfortable with it, perhaps I'm a bit spoiled with my iPad and my Kindle, I have the same feeling for mangas and for comics.

        It's exactly for that convenience and random downtime that I keep a few on my phone! Waiting in line has never been so enjoyable.
