Jon,

In general, I find doing any small cleanup or 5S kind of project around the house makes me feel better. It is kind of that feng shui thing. I will be working at home and walk by something that bugs me. Everyday I walk by and think about how much it bugs me. For weeks.Then I finally take an hour, fix it, and I feel so much better. Then every time I walk by it I marvel in my handiwork and it makes me feel better.

But this also, I find, puts me in a better frame of mind to program again. It kind of unclutters my brain and my creativity seems to flow better. It also seems to reduce stress and anxiety.
