I've had lunch, I've had my 1:30 meeting, the ball is squarely in the other guy's court on a problem we're debugging...

This is the kind of time-slice I do not use at all well. I don't nap. I've read all the e-mail I can usefully read today. I just know if I get started on anything truly useful or sizable I'm going to get interrupted.

Wonder how amused my coworkers would be if I brought minor mending into the office. ;-)

do it!! i've dragged two quilts (in pieces), oodles of crocheting and the birdseed flowers into work to make use of my lunch hour, much to the amusement of my coworkers. i see it as a chance to educate them as well. the 24 yr old guy in our office was fascinated by the process of hand-piecing a quilt. :-)

and i agree, with down time, the more complex the time-filler project, the more likely you'll get interrupted at an inconvenient time.

Phone calls fit well into those chunks of time, I find.
