Waiting time is thinking time. Waiting time is quiet time. Waiting time is pause time.
It's only a waste if you don't use it to your advantage. It's only a waste if you fret over having to wait when there is nothing you can do about it. It's only a waste if you resent it.
I sometimes "kill time" with my smart phone now that I have one, but I find I'd rather go the traditional route and use my mind instead.
I really enjoy zoning out and letting my mind wander.
