been doing a thing where when i get up from my desk i set a timer and kinda walk in circles for 5 minutes for my (mental) health. seems to work ok. nothing earth shattering but better than just sitting immobile at my desk all day
(please don't come at me with the "you need to do way more than that" that always crops up whenever someone who doesnt exercise tries to add a small bit of it into their routine cause it doesnt meet some supposed daily quota for maximum health benefits)
@eniko Life hack - drink waaaaay more water. Not because you need the hydration (that's new-age wellness nonsense). But it makes you need to pee more often. Good luck ignoring that timer.
@eniko I bought a cheap stationary bike and made a rule that the first YouTube video I watch after noon, I have to watch it from the bike. Even if I'm not pedaling.
Working pretty well for me, but it does require having a stationary bike. XD
@eniko it's a bit like the Pomodoro technique, where you set a timer to force yourself to stop thinking about your work every 25 minutes and get away from it for 5 minutes. I need to get back to that
@jda yeah, stuff like that is too rigid for me. if im doing a coding task i usually cant just drop it for 10 minutes without everything falling out of my head, so "whenever i get up to take a break" works for me
