Ask HN: How do you decompress after a long day at work?

Cycling. Getting out on the bike for an hour or so does wonders for me. It's very meditative.


Usually it’s just the regular stuff: Browsing the web or watching TV-series/movies.

I also try to see some local music gigs once in a while, I find that very rewarding. Doesn’t have to be a world-class performance, it’s nice just seeing friends, listening to some music and grab a few beers.


For me it's a long walk with my dog. Gives you time to reflect and sometimes good ideas come up.


Up at 6AM, code to 3PM - 4PM, a 5k hike through the woods nearby (about 1 hour), then code until 10-11PM, hour of reading before bed.

I wouldn't be able to do 2 coding bursts without the hour of exercise, I find it very invigorating


Exercise, fresh air, i.e. a long walk or hike.

The long term solution is to reduce your workload of course.


Eat till I'm sick


Tend my garden. Puts my back and neck in a good position.


Go for a walk if its nice out.

exercise

read

watch a movie

Start a hobby


Do you start a new hobby every time you have a long day at work?
