Gardening -- very stress-free and looking at green is very relaxing and therapeutic. It's also mild exercise and you get to go outside and get some fresh air.

Twice a day I take my dogs for a mile-long walk. I also work out at the gym. Those are my main routine interruptions during the day.

Yes, walk the dogs twice a day. I daren't start gardening or I'd get carried away and never come back inside..... I might do some cooking or baking too, if I've achieved my quota and need some light relief or have people coming round. I used to do dance/yoga during the day, but I find that takes too much time out of the working day and have tended to shift most of my leisure activities to the evening/weekend now.

It depends on the time of the day, the season, the weather or my mood: have a cup of coffee, water my plants (no real garden but a lovely terrace), do some housework, watch TV, read, go for a walk, have a snack, call my mother, children or grandchildren, go shopping...

At least 3 or 4 of the options apply, to wit: errands, walk, chores, and occasionally siesta to alleviate post-prandial somnolence, but usually only after lunching out.
Pax Julian, gardening comes under my "chores" heading.

Most of the time I take a walk with my dog. I also love to watch TV shows with my daughter, going to Publix , eat , and take a nap. Just a little bit of everything to relax.

I'm a "mad knitter" and my free time is shared between playing with my cat and knitting

+ I fancy myself an artist, so I like to draw during my breaks. When I'm not doing any of the other things on that list, I also enjoy papercraft (pepakura style).

The 'Other' in my case involves reading one or more books, watching a documentary, movie or cartoons on TV, snacking on nuts while sipping a cup of tea, perusing the newspaper, etc.
