Some ways may be reasonable, e.g. running a commercial side project which is a direct competitor of your employer's product. In this case, the moral hazard of using company's internal knowledge which is under an NDA is very high indeed.

But the list of such disallowed activities should be short and reasonable.

Direct competition would be one area I would allow them to limit, clearly they're paying me to work on their stuff first. However, a product in the same industry that my company wasn't persuing at that time would be fair game. At least that's what I believe is fair.
