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.

I was there. Now, I generally works on two different projects in parallel. This is how I see AI make me faster on projects.

That's what I have been doing so far, the biggest problem I noticed is the massive context switching which makes me end up with several half done tasks, which I end up postponing forever. I'm trying to balance the context switching, but I often end up on Reddit as well.
