It seems to me that the real problem is the habit of always "doing" something we're in, making any wasted time when we could be doing something but aren't feel bad and anxiety producing. When I'm on a long train ride in a third world country for a half a day or more with no Internet access and no ability to do work (or surf the web, for that matter), this feeling of urgency disappears and I feel at peace. When I try to meditate early in the morning for 20 minutes back at home though, it takes a lot longer than it should to clear my mind of urgent desires to "check" on things and make sure nothing's blowing up at the office and get cracking on the day's agenda.
