I also have downtime while waiting for my next task which is sometimes better than playing beat the clock, which is a losing proposition from the get go. The part I agree with on Lisa's is "be still" and "listen". Appreicate the subtle things going on around you. God is always communicating to us but are we really listening? For exercise; meditate quietly, watch your breathing, tighten your muscles and hold. No it's not like lifting weights or cardio but as you get older gravity takes over and something is better than nothing at all. Nice to something on your blog. See you at the Orchard.

I think downtime during work is not true downtime because I have to pay for it with "frenzytime" later. Could it be that God is telling you to be still and listen during those downtimes? Sometimes His voice seems so hard to hear when I'm looking for the meaning behind something. Like downtime. I’m not good with downtime either, unless it’s at the end of the day and I’m exhausted.
