What do you actully do while waiting for backtests?

Hi fellow quants,

I'm currently running some long-term optimizations on my strategies (using genetic algorithms, so it takes forever to converge). I find myself staring at the progress bar way too often.

What do you guys do to kill time during these periods? I've started getting into some casual gaming to keep my mind off the charts.
Currently revisiting some classics and looking forward to Hytale Game (really hyped for the sandbox creativity). Also found myself clicking away on Cookie Clicker 2 when I need a mindless break, or checking random browser games on Funboxie.

Do you have any other recommendations for "low commitment" activities that don't distract too much from the coding mindset? Or should I just be reading more papers?

Cheers!
