Self process improvement of work task. If they lead to new knowledge better.
Coffe with coworkers.
Do stuff to make the moments of heavy load feel lighter . Like organizing or advancing tasks .

Prank your coworkers. Buy one of those noise makers and hide it somewhere.
For me it’s usually chess, or shelled into my homelab to tinker with one of my personal projects
