Whether you're waiting to pick up your child from soccer, ballet or whatever, Parenting magazine suggests five things you can do in five minutes:

• Call a friend on your cell phone and catch up on gossip.
• Tweeze your eyebrows.

• Do a crossword puzzle.
• Ease neck stress: Slowly roll your head from left to center, and then right. Repeat from right to left.
