Anything else.
I'm not sure it matters. The boredom is the problem, not having options.
You could lock me in a room with nothing to do but read a book about thermodynamics, or study algorithms, and as soon as my interest starts to fade... my progress slows DRAMATICALLY.
What am I doing in this locked room, other than reading?? I don't know, probably just staring at the wall thinking about something else. Then realizing I'm wasting time. Start reading again... Lose track, get bored.... Stare at the wall and think about something else... Realize I'm distracted, start reading again... rinse, repeat.
Will get through an entire chapter, and barely remember what I actually read.
