working as a web dev, 8+ hours at a keyboard. by evening my hands are tired and i just want to zone out.

been trying to do 20 min before work instead. it's not much but it's consistent. any other devs who play — how do you manage it?

I found that I do my morning exercise way more reliably than my afterwork exercise. I try to get 30 minutes in each session.

The biggest game changer, however, was not working 8 hours a day anymore. It also helps to have a boss who’s fine with delays, so you can extend the morning session if you feel like it.
