I prefer to read programming books (which tend to also be part of, or contribute to, my annual "work goals"). Reading is perfect for my 20-30 minute "dead zones" since it's pretty effortless, and I can start and stop quickly without paging too much into/outof my brain. Meanwhile, doing any meaningful programming in that time would be almost impossible; it takes that long to get from 0 to 60 in the first place, and then I'd immediately have to stop anyway, so there's no point. Of course, there's also HN. :devil_emoji:
