That's very true, and it's worse with working from home at the moment. It can mean that I'm not all there for family even if I'm not at my computer. Maybe the key is to take more time out to ponder things during the working day.
In the last couple weeks I've been doing a mid-day workout... Which for me is a weighted-vest walk/light jog with an audiobook. Basically taking my audiobook/podcast habit and making it more of a workout.
The break is nice, and the exercise definitely helps my brain health and gives clarity.
Habits are hard to form, even when I had the idea to take on this routine, the vest sat around unused for several weeks before I truly kicked it in, but now I feel like I'm over the hump and really enjoying making time for it.
No approach/routine works for everyone, but I do think exercise really is about the best thing one can do with any number of feelings of stress, anxiety, etc.
I agree, I need to build a replacement for the weekly parkrun as that made such a difference the last year but it won't start again any time soon I expect
