Get off the internet and spend some time outdoors.

It is important in so many ways for people like software developers who have highly mentally stressful but physically sedentary jobs to do something physically active and not involving a screen, and to do it daily. Your quality of life will improve exponentially.

- EricSu 11y agoI'm deeply into photography (as a hobby/creative outlet) and I'm on a triathlon team (as a way to be outdoors and stay active). Having these two things motivates me to peel myself off my computer and definitely shifts my focus to something other than tech news which is very refreshing for the mind and body. You don't have to get deeply involved in a hobby, but I definitely agree that physically getting away from the computer and outside will help a lot to expose yourself to something different and get you thinking about something else.
