Programming. Writing essays. Learning an instrument.
Strongly agree with "programming", but strongly disagree with "learning an instrument". I wasted lots of time on that. The costs are high, and all the benefits are either dubious or can be more cheaply obtained through other means.
I, on the other hand love my cello. I also happen to enjoy practice itself. This helps a lot.

Too easily overlooked in a technical environment, but it really pays off. Both to assist in consolidating your own ideas, and also in communicating them to others.
