For the most part of my life my problem with getting out of the "code mind" is not much about getting out but getting back to it. Having ADHD makes your mind wander out of focus with not so much effort
I like to use lists for that.
If you breakthrough your day you'll see that most of it it's just a series of problems and tasks to take charge of. When you realize that and start automating your real-life tasks, going between code-mind and non-code stuff gets easier.
Making lists has helped me this way, it gives you direction when switching contexts. If I'm at work my work-list focuses me into the work-related things I should be doing. If I'm at home my home-list tells me the chores I should be doing.
That way if something gets me out of my mind in some situation, I can easily turn back to focus just by reading the list.
Of course you can't make a list for everything in life, but after some automation the rest gets a bit easier.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Ah! Context switching!
