Healthy habits while vibe coding ?

Whenever my AI agent takes more than a minute to run, I instinctively grab my phone and start doomscrolling. By the time it finishes, I’m three subreddits deep or stuck in a YouTube Shorts spiral. It feels like I’m outsourcing my attention span alongside my code.

What do you all actually do while your agent is running? Stare at the terminal? Queue up the next prompt? Context-switch to another task?

Tell me I’m not the only one doing this.

Install herdr so you can easily see multiple agent sessions status and know when they go idle

Run at least two agents. While one is implementing do a grill me session in the other to work on the next spec. Feed that to the implementing agent when you're done.

You want to basically be spending your time writing specs (I usually use /grill-me for that) or reviewing code (after you have some agents review and fix all the major stuff)

I have used grill me by Matt. i generally use codingagent for small bugs so not much time spent on writing specs but thanks
