Well, this is a problem that most people would hate it. Instead I like waiting in the line or even at a doctors’ office. The reason is very simple: This is time you can use to think. 

In most cases when you decide to turn off the laptop and the phones and get down to think you are usually disturbed by your own thoughts that you would like to work on immediately. This doesn’t happen when you have to wait for something else. 

Last time I was to my dentist I had to wait for about 45 minutes. Since I wasn’t afraid by the fact that I was visiting my dentist, these minutes had been very productive. Instead of waiting minute by minute and wondering when will my turn come, I had the time to think on marketing and development. I had nothing to disturb me and nowhere to go. I was just sitting in a quiet room just waiting my turn. I must admit though that I spent the first 10 minutes persuading the rest of the patients to turn off the TV. However, the rest of the time proved to be very productive. I figured some workarounds that saved me at least 6 hours of work. 

So next time you have to wait think again before getting disappointed; It’s a chance for thinking and solving your problems without distractions.
