Ask HN: What to do when you are compiling/wating?
What do you do when your program is compiling, or you are waiting for something? I constantly have urge to check FB, read articles, fire browser and do something, because I know I will wait for 20s-Xmins, until app installs on my device or something else happens. Maybe it is just my attention problem, but I hope you have some advice.
The main problem is that after I read something, I get distracted and have problem with focusing back on work.
