Sleep
Breathing, even though breathing is extremely dangerous. Evidence shows that 100% of all people who breathe will die. This can be traced back genetically; everyone who breathes was born to people who had also breathed during their lifetimes.
I hear folks that drink dihydrogen monoxide can become addicted after their first sip. One sip, and they are chasing that dragon for the rest of their days on earth, sad really. It’s why I only drink soda, love me some sugary teeth rot
Working out. (I do it most weekdays, too).
I work in software, and I’ve seen far too many guys in my industry who are either skinny as a rail and surviving on Cheetos dust, or painfully overweight. Had several co-workers croak unexpectedly, at shockingly young ages.
It’s a real problem in the industry. People simply plop themselves down at their computers and forget to do anything else for an entire day.
I have kids, and refuse to let them lose their dad early, so I hit the gym for an hour in the mornings, at least every other day. I do a mix of cardio and weight training. I also never stay seated for longer than 45 minutes.
Seriously, guys… If you work in the software industry, make a habit of getting up and moving around. It doesn’t actually take much to reap enormous benefits just from staying more active.
I have an IT company, and believe the same. We’re all working remote, and we organize competitions regularly like who is doing the most interesting sports, making the most progress, being the most consistent, etc.
I think it’s also important for the long term sustainability of the team too, we want people to have healthy lifestyle balances and not burn out.
Bingo. When my body is healthy, my brain is healthy. When my brain is healthy, my code is better.
I started working out because I was super weak and just had a kid, and I realized there was a legitimate risk that I wouldn’t be able to pick up my own child, so I started doing some strength training and holy crap this is amazing. Then I went back to college and lost my workout schedule, but after college I started running the following super smokey summer and didn’t make much progress, but this summer I’ve picked up biking and I’m currently up to about 3 miles of extremely hilly biking every day.
I seriously forgot how fun biking is, and it’s also nice just how much healthier I feel from the regular fitness
Right? Just getting up and doing something is so important. Whatever works to keep people from being sedentary.
What I’d like to do? Play Pente with friends and family in the morning in a cafe. It’s an easy going game that you can have conversations over and it is a family favorite of mine.
Realistically? Forage for mushrooms and be successful at hunting in a post apocalyptic nuclear wasteland.
Sounds pretty optimistic to me. Nobody’s going to live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. At least not in the northern hemisphere.
Sometimes all you can do is hope

Telling myself I’ll go to the farmer’s market and then not doing it.
You should. I found out there’s a huge list of cities in my country that have farmer’s markets, pretty every day of the week.
Sleeping.
being irritated with myself at the end of it that I didn’t get all the chores done
Having sex.
Started geocaching, I could definitely see myself doing this every week with my family.
It’s still Sunday so I was to get a deadly hearth attack right now I guess I would be doing that every weekend for the rest of my life
That’s a scary thought, guard your fireplace!
Apparently, waking up by 6 or 6:30 because my stupid body is on a schedule and we’re sticking to it every day, I guess.
Oh, and laundry. No matter what else I have going on, the laundry never stops.
Laundry is the real answer
Walking the dog
That’s either a very longevous dog or a rather short life.
I have incurable cancer and it’s expected I have ten years or so.
Well I guess I made a fool of myself. Sorry.
That’s cool, I’ve come to accept it.
Spanking it.
You do that anyway, choose another one.
Spanking YOU.
Why you dirty, dirty boy! O_o
…who me? Couldn’t be!
