How do you break the daily routine? (lemmy.world)

As I'm walking to work (instead of cycling, which I normally do, in an effort to slow down the mind somewhat) I was thinking of what other things I could do to try and break the routine of a workday. What are other people doing?

Much of this slots into time outside work rather than the workday itself.

walk a different route to a destination
pick an algorithm and walk with no destination (eg: straight until you hit a light not in your favor, then turn. Works in urban envs)
go somewhere you don't normally go. Eg: library, different coffee shop, that little art store you always see
go to the library. Walk along the shelf with eyes closed and pick a book at random.
pick a genre of music you never listen to. Listen to it.
cook or prepare a meal unlike your normal fare
go to a thrift store. Buy a cheap article of clothing you wouldn't normally wear. Wear it. See how it feels
find free or cheap art (music, theater, whatever) in your area. Go.
journal. Spend a few minutes writing down your day's details
hit wikipedia's random article button. Read it.
