I have a terrible habit of watching Youtube while I eat, and then one video turns to ten and I've wasted the entire day. I've tried just not watching it while I eat, but JUST eating is so incredibly boring that I cave in and turn it on regardless. I can't get any work done while eating either, since it takes me out of flow state when I'm working on something. Same with something like reading - it takes too much concentration to be done at the same time enjoyably.

What do you guys do when you eat?

I will use my meal time to watch TV, listen to music, or talk on the phone.

If I'm with others, typically just focus on eating and fun conversation. Alone or just the wife and I, we usually watch something or chit chat.

Talk on the phone while eating? Wild.

Usually with family that lives far away also eating, like sharing a meal indirectly.
