- Watching paint dry
- Attending a tractor pull
- Taking an international flight
- Going to a baseball game
- Watching C-SPAN
- Filing monstrous piles of work documents
- Boiling eggs
- Proof-reading technical papers
- Listening to Muzak
- Replays of the Fed’s report to Congress
- Watching ants work
- Weeding
- Walking on a treadmill
- Doing taxes
- Sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic…in the rain
