Every time I've gotten one of these documents I've amended it to "any IP for aspect foo of business bar." Example: video training software, or freemium mobile games. My employers have not objected, and it's a restriction I cane live with.

Honest employers want to keep you from competing with them while on the payroll, and want to avoid any claims that company IP belongs to you. Amend the document to address that and they may agree.
