I do something that requires a high amout of concentration, just to get work out of the head.
That often was a project of my own. Something really interesting and without the interference from customers or pointy-hairs. Real results and no stress.
During the last year I have tried something different: I have begun to fly (model) helicopters. Today one year ago I went out on a field and tried my luck with this model[^]. After about two minutes of 'fun', it was back on the ground, but not in one piece.
Since then I have learned a lot about flying and in the last months I have rebuilt and adjusted this helicopter and slowly gotten used to it. In an hour I will head out to that field again and spend two hours flying and then (hopefully) have nothing more to do than wipe off the remains of grass and insects from the heli

'Krav Maga' is a code-name for 'hit them hard with all you got in anyway you have'...

Pretty much. The philosophy behind it is "make your opponent unwilling or unable to continue". We prefer the unable part.

Just joking! I use to eat my nails sometimes, when the pressure raises.

LOL. I'm trying to be a good boy and observe the forum rules. I'll give you a hint: it's not something I do alone. Although you can do it alone it's not close to the same.

I go to Q&A [^]to put things into perspective.
Even when there is a looming deadline I will put the work aside and work on something different for an hour or two to pull my mind out of a rut. I find that returning to a problem after flushing the synapses with a different problem can put my mindset back on to track.

I call rubbish, the entire premise of this test is flawed, the base assumption that a 13 year old boy is human is just wrong.
The next issue is, have you ever tried talking to a 13yo, a series of grunts and ughs is the height of their conversation, simulating that should be no problem.

The methodology is flawed. You can convince 30% of humans that anything is true. This should be a double blind test. How many humans can convince an observer they are human?
