Bake! Brew beer! Run to mitigate those baking and brewing calories!

Pokémon and listen to music - it’s a walk with extra bits. I have a ~mile loop from the house. I also do edit cooking, where I edit papers and cook exciting things between chunks. I play in the garden and with my old house - there’s always a project. Obv I chat with F1.

I like to take a walk. Stretch my legs, get fresh air.

At home: dishes/clean the kitchen, play w/the dog, run if there is time (there never is these days)

At work: dishes/clean the office, play with a microscope, run if there is time (there never is these days)

I also spend (too) much time playing w my fishing gear... and ordering more.

Cleaning the fish tank. Lego building. Fixing broken stuff. Motorcycle rides.

Daddy duty, read about smoking meat, keep looking for that one tool or fishing lure that I know is somewhere in the garage

I agree, they are very important. I go out and play with firewood. Or write a blog post.https://t.co/35NJ5OogyW

Trainer at a dog agility club, train and compete with my own dogs. Also delving into scent work. Still requires my brain, but in a very different way. And I get to hang out with my mutts 😁

I really like building elaborate things out of Legos for my kids to play with
