I had a few things I wanted to accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to walk at least 250 steps each hour. I almost accomplished that, I did so in 7 of the 9 hours. One hour was entirely taken up by a meeting, and the other was where I had substituted additional resistance band exercise. I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s honestly much that can be done for those hour-long meetings, call it a necessary evil.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"590\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F_m1bmuH_h8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I wanted to do my exercises, the full 3 sets, 15 reps each, six exercises. That didn&#8217;t happen, I only managed one set. It&#8217;s going to take a little balancing of my time to manage more. Also, dress pants are not condusive to doing squats. Impossible.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to try incorporating <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pomodoro_Technique\">Pomodoro<\/a> better in my day. I&#8217;d bookmarked <a href=\"http:\/\/tomato-timer.com\/\">Tomato Timer<\/a> a while back but never really got into it in earnest. Oh, I&#8217;ve got way too much to do, I can&#8217;t be splitting my day into 25-minute chunks. I used Pomodoro all day today, and I was far more productive than a typical day. During those 5 minute breaks, I figured out a path in the building that not only involves just over 250 steps, but also incorporates four flights of stairs. All total, I climbed 29 flights of stairs today, and I&#8217;m going to end the day at about 33 flights. The exercises take about three minutes, so I can actually fit both the walk and the exercise in one five-minute break. I also managed two walks between 15 and 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"590\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Edwsf-8F3sI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I need to remember this day, remember how I&#8217;m feeling right now, 9400 steps into the day. Because I&#8217;m not going to feel this optimistic some days, hell maybe even most days. Ten thousand steps sounded unreasonable not even twelve hours ago. Now I&#8217;m going to hit 11,000 before all is said and done. This is coming off of short sleep and bringing earplugs to the train thinking I was going to sleep. I can do this. I can <em>look forward<\/em> to this. I feel really good. And I wish I could bottle up the sensation.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to work just fine in these warm months, that Florida upbringing has me saying the hotter, the better. I&#8217;ll have to figure something else out in the winter for the long walks. Maybe I&#8217;ll be able to do some sort of routine within the office building. Even if I was willing to face the cold (I&#8217;m not), there&#8217;s the matter of typical pileups of snow and ice around the route.<\/p>\n<p>My GTD article was seemingly finished when this revelation of Pomodoro actually working well came to pass. I&#8217;m going to review the article tomorrow and see if it makes sense to include. Then I need to double check all of the links and make sure they work and are sufficiently useful without leaking any data. I&#8217;ll end up posting it in a couple of places when it&#8217;s ready to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know what I expected.
