How do you spot winnable Klondike deals in 2 to 3 minute breaks?

I play classic Klondike (draw 1) as a tiny reset during the day. I am a stay-at-home mom with a toddler, so my "me time" is basically micro-breaks: waiting for the microwave, a quick bathroom sit, or when my kid is happily stacking blocks for a few minutes.

My problem is that I keep getting stuck in games that feel hopeless, but I can't always tell fast enough. That means either I waste the whole break chasing a dead end, or I quit too early and later wonder if it actually had a chance.

Do you have any simple heuristics for when to restart versus keep going? A few things I'm curious about:

- What are your top priorities in the first 10 to 20 moves?

- Any red flags that usually mean the deal is probably not worth it?

- How aggressive are you about pulling cards from the stock versus focusing on uncovering the tableau?

- If you only have a couple minutes, what is your fast-play routine?

Not looking for perfect play, just a few practical rules of thumb that help avoid time sinks and get a quick satisfying win more often.
