Ich habe jetzt ein paar Mal die Aufnahmefunktion meines Handys in der Chorprobe mitlaufen lassen - für ein bisschen Rückmeldung für mich selbst bezüglich Technik und Intonation (und schönerweise war es auch ein kleiner Boost fürs sängerische Selbstbewusstsein, das bei mir schnell mal im Keller landet, wenn ich einen Fehler mache.)

Womit ich überhaupt nicht gerechnet habe, ist, wie häufig ich in Zwischenphasen auf der Notenmappe (in der das Handy steckt) mit den Fingern trommele, lol #fidgeting

Ik zit te haken in de lobby van het ziekenhuis en bedenk me dat handwerken eigenlijk een oldskool fidget spinner is.
En het levert nog wat op ook.

_The Evening Post_, 27 September 1924:
            FIDGETY CHILDREN
Ought children to #fidget? The reply of the majority would certainly be in the negative. #Children should learn to sit still. To fidget is a bad habit; it gets on the nerves. And, as a clincher, to fidget is bad #manners.
  Nevertheless, manners apart—for what is good manners to-day may be bad manners to-morrow!—for a child to fidget is as natural and as necessary as physical growth—in fact, #fidgeting is growth!
  It is a sign of vitality, health, and mental and physical development. Children must fidget. And to suppress the habit is wrong.…
  The muscles are forming, the nerve system is being developed, and fidgeting is only an external sign of the internal life. It’s a safety valve, and it is as cruel as unwise to suppress it.…
  … #Play, romping, #exercise take the place of fidgets. Deprive a child of its play, and it is bound to fidget. Many children, too, must fidget as well as play. They are of the type with great vitality and health. Fidgets should be free. Life is motion and movement, and to suppress the motion and movement is always injurious. Parents should be worried if a child doesn’t fidget—not when it does!
