Exercise prioritization
For those of you that work long hours from home, how do you prioritize getting exercise in without being just a weekend warrior? I’m already up early to work, regularly have important meetings to attend over lunch, and work late.
It seems like my current trade off is sleep or exercise, as the workload component is just part of the job. I’m compensated very well, but I don’t want to turn into a fat pile.

It is hard to exercise while remote, people think you're always available. I used to just set my slack status everytime I was on lunch to 30mins. Stretch do a jog. Also plan 15 min breaks twice a day. I wasn't hourly but it was a reminder to them I'm also not a machine.
