Not sure what you consider "work"? Assuming you work in tech and your work involves sitting behind the computer, do something that takes your hands off the keyboard. Something that gets your body moving. Work a different part of the brain. Some recent examples (of mine):

    1. DEFY Trampoline Park with my 3 year-old daughter (both of us have a blast)
    2. Learning how to play guitar
    3. Hang out with friends who don't work in Tech

yes, thats pretty much the goal, but what can you do on a daily basis in a big city? I play the guitar but that also feels like work because you need to get better and sometimes that involves doing boring practice...

Agreed that guitar can turn into work. I'm guilty of that too; when I first started out with guitar, I would overly intellectualize it. In fact, I had convinced myself that learning how to play the different modes across the neck and digging deep into music theory were important to my original goal: strumming and singing.
