Socialize with people in your organization. Get to know people outside your team, especially those from non-technical departments. Try to have lunch with different groups in different days

Why:

1. Chances are you'll meet very interesting people, with a background different than yours. This is invaluable, in my opinion

2. You'll understand how the organization works and how information dissipates.

3. You can learn about their jobs, and if possible, find ways to make their jobs easier for them. Do someone a favor, they'll most likely return it.

3. Networking can provide very interesting opportunities in the future

4. You'll get perspective from outside the technology bubble

Physical exercise. If possible, try to do it at least 2 days a week. Besides the obvious physical health aspects, regular exercise is a performance boost for intelectual work.

Best of luck!
