What: Reading, music (I dabble with synths), TV Series.
How: What I usually do is work until a fixed time, and then have a hard stop. Do some laundry, check out a YouTube video on the couch, etc. If there is anything really urgent, I can pick up again, but the physicality of getting away from the computer and doing something else helps A LOT.
Both. Right now I'm going through learning sound design on new hardware, but I also use Logic to try my hand at some compositions (mostly instrumental intros right now).
