While I wait
I wait for many chunks of 15 minutes during the day, these slots are not sufficient to start a new task/work but sufficient to engage in superfillers. For example, I might wait during the day:
- For household helps (cook/maid) to complete their task at hand.
- A meeting or call to start in 20 minutes
- A friend is late to meet at the coffee shop
Superfillers
A superfiller is an activity or habit that has the following characteristics:
- 10 minute atomic Habit
- Asymmetric long term benefits due to daily compounding
- Aligned with personal goals
How I wait
I have found a few things to be highly satisfying superfillers. In the last 1 year, the top of my list would be:
- Reading a few pages of my current book on Kindle while I wait
- 10 minute meditation while I wait
- Walk in the office/society/hall while I wait
- Return calls to friends or family while I wait
While I wait - Meditation at Langkawi Sky Bridge 2022
A unique experience was meditating at Langkawi Sky Bridge - I could feel that the curved cable-stayed bridge vibrates/oscillates ever so slightly.
