How do you kill time at the office when waiting on feedback so you can continue your work?

Even though I’m in FP&A and not banking, a lot of my time is spent waiting on comments from higher-ups in order to continue with a specific task. I’ll scroll through sports news online and play around with some of the models I’ve built, but a lot of times I’m just sitting at my desk doing nothing but staring out the window.

What do you guys like to fill this time with? I’ll go on a longer walk in the afternoon compared to my numerous trips downstairs to our coffee machine, but I’m trying to find some stuff to do at my desk during these dull periods.
