Force a lunch break. Your mind will function better, and longer, bc of it. Sometimes I walk or run, some days it's strength training. You can do weights on conference calls (if you aren't presenting or driving the discussion). Make it happen. At.least a few days a week.

No longer in public but I used to leave the office to workout at 5:30 then get back at 7 to keep working.

Work out 3x a week, one day during the week at 6am and Saturday and Sunday at 7am

Morning workouts. It’s the only way I’ve been able to adapt. I might not start till 9:30/10 but it ensures I get my workout in. It takes some time to adapt to though.

Oh I also have a “atleast every other day” rule. Rather than saying 5 times a week and missing the first two days and then being set up to fail I made a promised to myself years ago every other day. It gave me permission to take a break and had me think about if I skip cause I’m just not that into it, will tomorrow have time for a workout. Not every workout has to be killer but it helps!

I always will find time twice a week for it. like on short days for example, I will hit the gym after my 9 hour days, then maybe once more on a weekend. You can also hit it in the morning before you get ready. Saves a ton of time when you just get cleaned up once after a workout

When I worked at a firm, I'd workout on weekends as the work days were shorter. And then during the week I'd pick a few days where I would leave around 5 and come back to the office right after the gym. I have no kids though so I didn't have to commit time to anything else.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
