Instead of biting my nails or playing with a fidget toy, is there a skill I can learn/practice?

Like rolling a pen/coin through my fingers or something like that.

Practicing touch typing.

I don't know how many times I've absent-mindedly "strummed" my fingers by tapping out "This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. This is only a test. In the event of a real emergency...", a TV memory from my childhood.

When I first learned touch typing, I did consciously practice this way. ASDF, JKL;. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

I was thinking something I could do at work without being too distracting

May I ask what sort of work you do?

Tech stuff, so I'm sitting in an office

Get a balisong/butterfly knife and just practice opening and closing it without looking and with minimal movement
