So a technique I've found useful to solve this issue aside from hanging out with someone visiting is to dedicate 1 day to doing nothing but picking a place that you're very familiar with and intentionally thinking about whether you've been down that street or the next one, looking at places that I wouldn't usually look like at the corners of the roof of buildings and then just taking a moment to sit down and watch. This has worked for me in each of the cities I've ever become too familiar with. You just tend to relax and get to where you want to go, there's no nervous energy of not knowing where you are or where you're going. Nowadays I tebd to just pop on my headphones and go to where I need and go back home again and not take in a thing unless I have a bit of a "reset"
