Some activities need little mental effort such as playing certain video games. With practice, you improve at them. The same idea applies to useful skills like typing or solving maths problems, which have practical benefits. What other activities could someone do that are either helpful for an engineer or generally useful and need little thought?
Humming to find the resonant frequencies of the space you're in.
Observational drawing- paper, pencil, draw what you see (or if not sighted, maybe there's a similar activity?)
Listening to what's happening around you. Originally thinking birdsong, but the lowest barrier is just where you are.
The skills apply directly to real-world drones.
