Which empty minute of your day do you refuse to fill?
The wait for the kettle, the walk to the train, the minute before sleep: any of them can be filled now. Some people keep one empty on purpose.
Your answer
A little context
Until recently, empty minutes filled themselves. You stood at the bus stop and watched the street; you waited for the kettle and thought about nothing much. Now every one of those minutes can be filled, and usually is, before you have decided anything.
