&quot;do some non-coding activities when you get home; whether a hobby or watching TV, getting away from IT and programming for awhile makes me feel refreshed the next day&quot;<p>Cleaning the house &#x2F; apartment can be very relaxing. It&#x27;s a task that requires minimal thought and can be a good workout -  saturday I washed our hard wood floors by hand with just a bucket of soap &#x2F; water and a big sponge. 2 hours later my mind was clear as day (or I was high on the fumes from the Lysol haha)
