Dainting

The act of behaving in a dainty manner.
Working on items that require non-aggressive movement, like sensitive wiring, circuit boards, etc.
Working with items that do not require aggressive interaction, like a keyboard and mouse (particularly on a laptop).

Gardening after a day of dainting on laptops and printers strikes a good fitness balance.
Stop dainting with that napkin and just fold it!

She was dainting on a single macaron, making it last an hour.
