At some point, with any computer or device you’re going to have to wait for it to perform some task. In the past I’d often reach for my phone and end up wasting a bunch of time down some rabbit hole (often Instagram for me). I’d look up 15 minutes later with nothing done and my device waiting for me again.

Now I’m not against taking breaks in your work so that you can maintain peak performance for the day, but this was mindless scrolling through an infinity pool of content that only wants to steal my attention from me. Not only did my phone take up more time than I intended [taking a break with your phone means you’re not recharging](https://www.nextgov.com/cio-briefing/2019/08/your-brain-doesnt-recharge-if-you-use-your-phone-break/159330/)

Today I’m going to talk about the a toy that I received for Christmas that still fills the waiting time without being an infinity pool and time suck for my attention. In part because it has a definite ending point.
