When the tedium parts of the process set in, or your eyes and head are fatigued from concentrating on the screen and details for too long... what do you like to do to help 'reset' and refresh?

Just curious to hear and compare. I find I need to be off anything screen-related and do something more tangible or loose, like a bike ride.

    I like to go for a swim. There's a big pond close by so I'm lucky to be able to leave for a swim and be back at my desk in forty minutes.

    I frequent thrift stores, looking for interesting books and vinyl to acquisition, and I play squash quite competitively (training and tournaments). I used to cycle a lot when I lived in the city, but now only in the gym, as I find the countryside around here less engaging than downtown Toronto.
