I used to game a lot. My friends and I now dedicate at least 1-2hrs a weekend (when we can) to play a game with each other. It's a great destresser to have fun with friends and let your mind not be overtaken by everything else going on.

@gabe__perez I used to do that before. I played HoN with my friends, its a MOBA, and everytime in while we are waiting in queue to get a game (which can take sometimes 10-20 min), I am getting very nice inspirations and motivation to finish the tasks I was delaying for a while. Not sure why, but that was almost the only game I played for last 10 years. And It put me in the battle mode.

@gabe__perez +1 Also, if you're having a bad week try not to play any games with troublesome communities.
Gabe Perez
@stefan_smiljkovic I feel you! I actually did spare work during load times as well. Glad to hear you were able to bond with friends. Hopefully the MOBA wasn't too rage quitty

@gabe__perez Warzone has gotten me through this pandemic. It has allowed me to have a social outlet when there were none.
Youri Nelson
@gabe__perez I do the same thing, 30min to an hour playing "mini motorways" is a great destresser and it's a game that is simple while still being challenging so it's the right amount of thinking after working hard on the startup.

Hiking or any other physical activity that gets me away from a screen and internet connection.
Rony Rom
Any activity that can distract me from work - puzzles, walking, play tennis, etc. Also, making sure I'm taking enough short breaks throughout the day :)
Demetri Ilias
Physical activity (be it going to the gym or just going for a walk), healthy eating, and meditation. These three things are the foundation for my entire day.

@demetri_ilias healthy eating is super important. Keeping your body feeling fresh is crucial when you're in a high stress environment!
Demetri Ilias
@bertie so true!

Leave enough time for leisure... read books, take part in weird master classes, do some sport 💪
Vladyslav Hrytsenko
@nastia_iskovych hehe, and which master classes would you recommend?
Anastasiia Iskovych
@inlife360 something like 'beat-making', 'gardening', 'surviving in the wild' etc. 😅
Vladyslav Hrytsenko
@nastia_iskovych ah, I see! Thanks for the tip! :)

@stefan_smiljkovic Exercise for the win!
David J. Kim
Meditation, exercise, walks of nature - all great and I recommend doing them. What personally helps me the most is journaling, having a true honest dialogue with yourself can help ease a lot of stress.
Ali Irtaza
Physical activity like going for a walk and running. The stay focused through out my day
Paul Lockett
Take a day to do something fun but low effort. I won't play a grand strategy game but I will watch a movie, hang out with friends etc.
Pam Moorhouse
Honestly, It’s is a struggle. Short bursts of exercise in the middle of the day are my go to. I come back to the desk with more focus and feel less stressed.
