I think kids (at least early on) as you note are pretty excellent antidote. the first year is especially a whole lotta not much (eat, poop, sleep, make noise, repeat).
at work I found using a really old computer was effective, since switching to slack was like a 30 second endeavor, I would just sit in the terminal all day. at home a shitty cell data plan is effective as well.
