5 Productive Things to do While Waiting

Written by:

Everyone, everywhere, has to wait at one time or another. It could be a doctor’s waiting room, waiting to see the dentist or eye doctor, or waiting for a friend to meet you for coffee. Maybe you drove someone else to an appointment and have to wait for them. The time can be long so here are 5 things to keep you occupied and productive while you wait:

1. Bring an educational book with you to read while you wait. Alternatively, you could use an app like Kindle on your phone or tablet to bring with you for reading while waiting.

2. Have a notebook with you where you can start your grocery list, write tomorrow's to-do list or just jot notes of things you want to remember.

3. Carry a small package of wet wipes in your purse/bag/pocket. While waiting you can give your shoes a wipe or wipe down the outside of your purse/bag.

4. If you are carrying a purse, backpack, or bag of any kind use the time while waiting to clean it out a little. You can pick out any garbage like receipts or candy wrappers and put them in a little baggie you carry in your bag to dispose of later. 

5. A popular activity while waiting anywhere is to listen to music on your phone, iPod, tablet, or whatever device you carry. You could instead listen to motivational podcasts or self-improvement audiobooks to make your time more productive. Or clean up your photo gallery, inbox, etc.

I hope you find some of these tips useful. If you have another suggestion to add to the list please leave it in the comments. Have an amazing day!

    Books are always great in any waiting situation. And as someone who’s only started cleaning his photo folder recently, I can say that photo cleaning is an everyday thing, which means there’ll always be something to do while you wait. Or, it could also be a great time to practise mindfulness or patience and just… wait, without doing anything else. Thanks for this post!
