Not quite the same deal but years ago to break myself of being a keyboard tyrant while pair programming, but mainly cause I have a large head and couldn't buy tools, I started knitting. This was 05 so as a large male in the Midwest I got some shit for it, but I covered that by knitting everyone a custom hat and squares to block out our physical kanban board lanes. You can't grab the keyboard quickly when knitting so it completely broke me of it and had me much better at being able to talk through things.

These days for meetings I'll sometimes sit back and leatherwork. Finished a nice duffle recently. Really helps me pay attention to listening and not start 3 side convos on slack.

Also helps me watch TV without reading garbage on my phone over and over. Overall I find it like being in a flow state for half your brain like meditation or tig welding.
