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.

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