I've found that vigorous exercise is also an excellent time to let my mind wander and solve problems. I'm a cyclist and my days generally start with a 30+km ride (weekdays, 65+km Sat/Sun), and using that time to plan out what I want to achieve in a day is really useful. I do have todo lists and jira tickets etc to help structure my day, but being able to mentally step back and see what needs most attention today is really important to me.

That's an extremely nifty use of Jira tickets! Will have to start using that.
