Comparison to a disorder doesn't seem to be going over so well. Well, yeah. But I look for these little optimizations all over the place; it's entertaining.

Comparison to a disorder doesn't seem to be going over so well. Well, yeah.
But I look for these little optimizations all over the place; it's entertaining. Oddly enough, I'm more successful when off the computer. Like, I can optimize the #$%^ out of unloading the dishwasher, but trying to come up with a 20-second task while I'm coding doesn't often work out. Besides, if I'm working and I have a > 1 minute break, it's more beneficial for me to close my eyes, lean back and just zoom out to make course adjustments.
It's not actually a positive thing for me to fill in every bit of empty space -- the pauses serve a purpose (though admittedly, our build/deploy/test cycle currently is too long, and this is harmful).
But if I'm making tea, I know the tap takes a bit over 5 seconds to run a mug's worth of water, so I can fill the kettle just enough with my right hand, while the left one chooses what tea I'm going to use from the cabinet overhead.
