This month’s T-SQL Tuesday has been brought to us by Jess Pomfret who asks for our favourite Life Hack that we use to make our days easier.

Now I’m not going to talk about technical tools here, I’m going to talk about something that has helped me get into the correct head space over the last 6 months. 

Exercise!

I know, I know, too much like hard work right? 

Getting in some exercise before work has been amazing for both my physical and mental health. Getting in a class before work is a great way to wake yourself up properly, it’s not unusual to be yawning on the way to the gym but you can guarantee that you’re awake after that class.

It also gives you a sense of accomplishment for doing something positive before you’ve even entered the office. Whatever happens you’ve done your exercise and nobody can take that away from you. It doesn’t have to be the gym, a quick walk outside might be all that you need, I’ll leave that up to you.

I know that not everybody can get to the gym and having time with a family can be difficult but it’s really worth spending that little that you might be able to on yourself. You’re worth looking after.
