How much time when cooking do you spend waiting for water to boil when not doing something else? For me it’s zero. And if for some reason it wasn’t zero that means I’m cooking leisurely and don’t much care about time.

Are you the poker Matt Maroon? If so, I've been enjoying your writing for a very long time.
I definitely don't sit around doing nothing when I'm waiting for water to boil, but very often the water is still on the critical path (e.g., because I want the pasta to be done ASAP even if other things aren't done yet, or because it's on the critical path even if I can use all that time efficiently).
