I think what we as programmers or more largely knowledge workers miss is doing something which is physical and involves direct contact. Typing away on a computer in a room with dozens of others with the him of white noise is far off from that kind of experience. I like to cook, the experience of touching produce, cutting and cooking is a uniquely human experience. So, yeah get a hobby which allows you to do that. Disconnect and recharge.
