Makers, what do you do in your down-time?

Question

For a lot of us here creating new things is a source of joy. However many of us do seek a break to recharge or even zoom out.

How do you catch a break?

maybe you are looking for a fancier answer than this one but I LOVE to have a really nice night of sleep :-)

Francesco Pellizzari · Answer

Reading is always a good choice for me.
I take one day or two to relax with background music and some good reading.
Works like a charm!

Misha Krunic · Answer

I usually like to take long walks, but since the weather doesn't allow for that I'm resorting to reading and spending time with my family.

Maxwell Davis · Answer

Spend time with the family, or if I'm not doing that some gaming :)

Dafni Chontou · Answer

- Reading is my favorite way to start my day
- Walks during the day always help to refresh the mind
- I love to play the piano to recharge and get some nonscreen time :)

How about you, Rucha?

@notionfre Comfy chair, a well lit corner and a good book 😊 🙌
What are you reading right now?

Rucha Joshi · Answer

@notionfre I'll be sure to check those out. I am reading Anxious People by Fredrik Backman right now. It is so heart-warming!

@maxwellcdavis What sort of games do you enjoy playing?

Rucha Joshi · Answer

@stzdio nope, these are the exact kind of answers I was looking for - realistic and true. I LOVE naps. They really do help me recharge and think better. Some sundays I just sleep all day

Rucha Joshi · Answer

@dafnihnd I love to read, could do it all day long. I generally unwind with fiction books and naps :)

What is downtime? How do you eat it?

Rucha Joshi · Answer

@jessie_m hmm, yes. I wish I was able to build a regular practice of meditation and exercise.

Francesco Pellizzari · Answer

@rucha_joshi8 "Show your work!" by Austin Kleon and the old "Bushido" by Inazo Itobe, although the latter is a bit too difficult for me 😅
And you?

Jessie · Answer

Meditate, working out, and spending time with family helps recharge.

Daniel Leal · Answer

@rucha_joshi8 In my case I love exploring new things so I am riding my bike or learning something new or going out with my wife and with friends. Above everything I love the moment I hit my pillow and talk to my wife about the day and about life in general.
