- Take up rock climbing or bouldering – challenge both the body and the mind – you will instantly be a beginner
- Go to the driving range and learn some gold, then go to a par three course, work your way up
- Volunteer – see what hospitals need help, become a JP, be a mentor, join local community programs
- Take regular breaks – give yourself time to think things through and remove yourself from distraction
