Reading. I have always loved memoirs and learning about other peoples lives. Also art. There is nothing like a trip to a museum to stimulate me.

It doesn't seem productive to just sit in front of the computer and berate myself for not producing. I find it helpful to physically move. I do laundry, wash dishes other mundane domestic tasks. I exercise, yoga, or walking --preferably in nature. I also find meditating useful even if it's only for ten minutes!
