As a junior, how to make yourself useful with slow deal flow

2023 has not been off to a flying start with stalling on deals, we’re also atm doing no pitching. So since 2023 has begun I honestly have not done much other than prep for the eventual deal that is meant to come in hopefully a week. As layoffs happen more frequently i get nervous every time I’m not busy, which now seems to be more frequently, anything appreciated thanks
