For me, the 'something else' involves movement. Driving, cycling, walking, swimming all can work. What works at the computer is a very specific type of Match 3 game (think Bejewelled) - moving little boxes around mindlessly and getting intermittent rewards is enough to quiet the busy part of my brain and let me tap into the storytelling/problem-solving one.
Cruel Twist: All of my suitable games are 32bit, and I've just gotten a new computer that runs only 64 bit software, so I'm saying a cruel goodbye to old friends (my oldest app is one I've had since 2003!). I'm looking for replacements, but nobody writes apps like those anymore, but that's a completely different rant.
