My Monday night roleplaying game recently ended, which means (since it was
in character) I have lost three hours of handwork per week,

I prefer to listen to things while I do handwork, although I also have a
line in telling stories in my head if there's nothing else to keep my brain
occupied while my hands are.

If I'm prepared to work very very slowly, I do what I'm currently doing, and
check emails or something while I do hand work.   I have to put it down to
reply, of course...  Currently, I'm on my lunch break, and doing some of the
hardanger on a wedding sampler for my sister.  She's getting married in
November, and September is an insane month for me, so I want it done asap.

Also, it's nearly finished, and when I get to the nearly finished state with
handwork, I get bored and want it done NOW so I can start (or go back to)
the next thing.
