Have an exercise routine. I think weight lifting gives you most bang for your buck. Around technologists there still seems to be a sort of nerd vs. jock thinking where people are afraid they have to become some "gym douchebag" who only thinks about lifting weights. People definitely fixate on it sometimes because exercise can become addicting, but there is nothing preventing one from taking a minimalist approach to it that doesn't demand much time or thought, but has huge benefits. It is sad to see a kind of gnostic thinking where people are contemptuous of anything non-cerebral, especially when exercise is actually good for your brain! Boosts BDNF. Plenty of routines out there which only require 3 days a week with workouts being under an hour. This is a nice example: https://physiqz.com/workout-routines/powerbuilding-programs/... I think this sort of thing is best. Walking on a treadmill at work while coding is a bit gimmicky. |

A few months ago I purchased a barbell and some bumper plates, and I’ve been doing ~3 workouts per week pretty consistently. Can’t recommend it enough.
