Too easily, one can justify that their computer is both their work AND their entertainment. I've enjoyed trying my hand at some offline gaming.
Feeling like anything fantasy/sci-fi can be a waste of time, I turned to a WWII tabletop miniatures war game called Flames of War. It's a three in one: social interaction with some older guys that I can shoot the bull with whose social circles I wouldn't usually fall into, diorama construction and historically accurate miniatures painting (hone those artistic mind-muscles), World War Two history. I'm not trying to go for a shameless plug but I've found in it more than a game, not imagining I would have learned so and become THIS much more interested in history.
..and as some of the other comments have pointed to, exercise is ++. Hiking, biking and exploring the OFFLINE world around you can be key to returning fresh (and inspired!) on Monday.
