My trick is that historically when I was bored (or on the toilet) I would always reflexively reach for social media (mainly reddit) to pass the time. A couple years ago I made the conscious decision to stop using reddit, but wanted something to replace those little moments of downtime[1] with. So I bought a nice-looking Pinboard client[2] for my phone, and have trained myself to reach for pinboard in those little moments of boredom, generally reading through things in my "read later" queue.
