One time sink I found was my morning news reading. I'd pull up WaPo and The Guardian and next thing I know, 45 minutes have gone by. Since then, I've started listening to news podcasts (NPR and NYT both do a daily news summary, total runtime ~40 min). I purchased a cheap shower radio[1] from Amazon, and by the time I'm dressed I feel like I've been relaxing rather than doing chores and more able to jump into work.
