My husband, an introvert with autism, wanted to chime in and say that he needs some alone time with his special interest (either baseball cards or geography/maps) to fully recharge.
Another thing that helps me is taking a shower. Simple yet effective.
I'm not a programmer, but I've taken beginner classes. I have definitely felt very Zen when I reached a state of flow doing homework with very basic programming.
For me nature. I love being surrounded by nature. Sometimes I just chill on a bench with a coffe or listen to a podcast in a park, while watching the clouds pass by or watching people walk their dogs.
It sounds boring, but really helps to focus my thoughts again.

Rimworld, honestly. The game is engaging enough to catch my attention in short bursts but slow enough that it isn't overwhelming when winding down.

I don't think that's boring at all! Nature has a hugely calming effect on me.

Ohh depends on my mood.
Low effort: Futurama on shuffle.
Energy but I'm over people: single player RPG
Insomniac: write some code.
Unfortunately most of the time I just end up doing head of household chores until I pass out from the misery.

Futurama is the best show to zone out to after you’ve watched it a few times.
