Doing something physical as opposed to sitting at my desk and staring at a computer monitor does more good to me. And then there is always a favorite standby---- SHOPPING!

I love taking an afternoon (or the night before and the next afternoon) to plan a menu, go to the store, come home, and as graceful as possible for a novice, fall into the flow of preparing and enjoying a meal. To me I think it's a great refuel for two reasons. 1) It involves a lot of my mental effort. I'm not allowed to casually mind wander into work while cooking. 2) Like you, I work at home and I think that taking myself far away from work while still being at home helps me remember that home is home. Thanks for the reflective prompt :) Great metaphor…sorry you had to actually play out the running out of gas to get it across. :)
