I have seen my uncle do it. He is a corporate finance consultant. He simply opens his laptop or phone and starts working on random things, replying to e-mails, making presentations, scheduling appointments, creating/closing tasks on client PM/ERP software. Sometimes for as little as 3 minutes.

As a developer, for the longest time I thought why tf can't I be as productive! Then I realized the rev up time for my line of work is not like his. By the time my brain switches context to work on code, those 5 minutes are up.
