what do you do in the 30-60s while claude code / cursor is thinking?
i send a prompt, the agent goes off for a minute, and somewhere in that gap my hand opens a new tab on its own. by the time it's done i'm 15 min into doomscrolling and don't come back.
what's weird is it's backwards from the usual adhd thing. the agent took away the part that kept me hooked (the actual typing and figuring out part of it) and left a bunch of little waits that my brain reads as "ok you can leave now."
so, people here who use these tools:
- do you get this focus dying the second the AI starts working, not while you're coding
- what do you actually do in the wait
- has anyone fixed it or do you just bite into the context switch every time
trying to work out if this is a me thing before i build something dumb to fix it
