I have a backlog that almost warrants an additional employee. I still put aside a few minutes to read HN. I think it is good to stay informed. I usually have some free time when I do a longer operation. Formerly I did something else in the meantime until I noticed that multi-tasking often means that both tasks are done badly. If there is really nothing to be done, I start some projects that might help someone at work.
