I love my 5 minutes breaks while grinding and I usually get some snacks, maybe a coffee or run to the bathroom... it's surprising how many things you can make during this short breaks lol
I refill my drink, or a coffee. I also have a quick smoke. In the evening I grab a couple of beers and sit it beside myself this way I have enough for the 55 mins of tournament before the next break.
I usually manage to cook something to eat (noodles or some kind of porridge that cooks quickly). While cooked, i add different kinds of dried fruits and seeds. I pour very little water and it is completely absorbed in these few minutes of cooking. Then i add tomato paste.
And i start eating already during the game ))
I go outside my apartment, get some air , some sunshine, think about bad plays and try to improve them in the next 55 minutes, go to the bathroom if possible, re-heat food haha
My five minutes I use it mainly for a quick cigarette and a little digging in the phone. At other times, depending on how the game goes, blinds, my stack I pay attention to the child. Sometimes I look at important hands and make conclusions and notes.
About the same write a couple other people said. I start preparing about five minutes till. And just maybe might have time to go to the bathroom. And maybe get some to munch on and roll a Doobie. You get what I’m saying big fatty
