Anyone improve their routine for how to spend a 5-hour layover without overplanning it?

I like being productive during layovers but I also hate turning them into mini stress marathons.

I want a repeatable formula for food, lounge time, walking, and staying sane.

Every time I try to do too much, the airport wins.

I want a repeatable formula for food, lounge time, walking, and staying sane. is exactly the right target. The best systems are the ones you will still use after ten trips, not just one enthusiastic weekend.

Every time I try to do too much, the airport wins. is the part most advice ignores, and it usually ends up being the reason people quit a tool or workflow.

I try to keep it simple: solve the biggest pain point first, then add extra optimization only if I keep up with it naturally.

My rule is that if a setup takes too much manual maintenance, I replace it with something simpler even if the theoretical upside is lower.
