What do you do to get through the mind-numbing repetition of daily life?

So we do so many things every day that are the same – EVERY DAY!

For example, wake up, get ready for work, take care of the kid(s), drop them off, go to work, work, come home, eat dinner, take care of kids, put them to bed, get ready for bed, go to sleep, rinse and repeat. e.t.c. fyi i left alot out but you get the idea. Life is the same day to day, week to week, and this could become very ‘blah’ after awhile

What are some of the things you do to help you endure the eventual sameness of every day living?

(For example, I come here periodically throughout the day as a break from work. a little thing, but it helps me keep my sanity a bit)

Part of the reason I am asking is because I need ideas myself, so any answer you might have would be welcome.
