I hate waiting for things to happen, people to react, stuff to be delivered. It’s necessary, like right now for instance, I’m waiting for a client to update some stuff so that I can get back to prettify his site. Necessary, but boring. Luckily, I’ll just multitask.

1. Flip through my notebook. I’ve got a bunch of ideas jotted down there, it’s always a good thing to remind yourself of your own brilliance, or just refreshen the memory, whatever.
2. Update my todo list. Moving stuff around for a better workday is always a good thing. And crossing things out is so sweet, although I rarely forget to do that…
3. Answer e-mails. I get a bunch, and some of them are labeled Quickie. That means it’ll take less than 2 minutes to answer them, so I’ll do that.

Naturally, there’s a bunch of things you can do to fill the void while waiting, but these are things I did just now. That, and writing this blog post. Now, however, the wait is over so it’s back to work!
