You need an activity that makes it inconvenient to pop open a laptop or phone. As others suggested, walking is a good one[1]. I usually listen to podcasts – unrelated to may day-to-day job – if I’m going to walk for a while. Other things I do is yoga, weightlifting, bouldering and soap making. Other than walking, what makes these similar is that you have to get out of your programming head and think about performing the new task with focus (yoga is a hard one though since you can still think about other stuff and just do the movements).
