Little coding projects, image manipulation with python libraries, LAMP (with sqlite) to catalog and serve music on the local network, analyzing my own text- blog contents, social media posts- looking for patterns- basically treating myself as an experiment and trying suck data out of my detritus for possible writing projects. Oh, also listening to shortwave radio and making simple multitrack audio recordings of my musical ideas.

It beats doing what you are talking about- dead scrolling random internet stuff just to "burn hours" (I've heard that before but still, what a sad sentiment).
