This is good advice, if you have that control over your schedule.

What I've found, for me, is that going from home to the gym (running, BJJ, strength & conditioning, depending on the day), I come out of it physically tired, but mentally refreshed. The next few hours I can focus on other tasks pretty effectively. Part of it is the physical activity is, for me, meditative (which is itself refreshing), but also that it's totally different from what I'd just spent 8 hours doing, and was intending to spend the next 3+ hours doing.
