Go for a walk with a (real) camera and try to find something to photograph. 1. good exercise. 2. you'll start noticing more and looking at things differently. 3. you'll be holding a camera instead of a phone - so you'll stay more engaged with the exercise.

"What to do after the workday?" - is the key of the question

> Go for a walk

It's almost winter in US. Pardon me, but taking a walk in the dark, alone, with your camera doesn't really sound as a good advice.

I bet with your new iPhone you can take gorgeous photos at night but that can be fun only once on the blue moon, not every day?..

I'm "that guy" who plays with new libraries and dives into HN articles. I have side jobs, podcast, meet-ups (although not for long). I continue trying to take me social media skills to the next level, but no luck yet. I throw all that in the trash whenever one of my 3 kids needs me for an even or anything. They're pretty independent so I'm lucky. At 35years, I should be exercising... But I love learning new things, a…

That's awesome! Do you mind linking your podcast? Curious how it's structured and topics. I was also thinking about doing a podcast but only whine and push my thoughts on my fellow few followers in my blog right now.

It is a great activity, just get a camera that makes good pictures after sunset with little light (meaning no phone but rather something with 1" sensor or bigger). There is creative aspect to it in form of looking for a good shot, its composition, framing etc.

Unless of course if you live in crappy place riddled with criminality and evening walk is semi-sure way to get mugged or worse.

Heck, evening walks are a great way to clear your head after long day at work. I get tons of ideas out of blue when subconsciousness processes them.

Awesome work, in addition to it Socrates might want to say something about exercising, "see what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit."
