What kind of stretching do you do. Is it just yoga in general or are there specific routines you started. After finally feeling the first tangible effects of extended bad posture, I'm looking to get ahead of this.
You know basic stuff, trying to touch my toes while standing. Some hand stretching. I guess it was totally ineffective, but number of nights with migraines are down a lot.
I want to start exploring yoga during 2020
- Stop smoking so much weed - Read regularly every night or at least 4-6 times a night - Exercise 4 times a week (I already do, just gotta keep it up) - Remain positive - Leave Silicon Valley
Hah I feel you on the smoking, with vape pens it's almost too easy to take a quick hit here and there. Cutting back weed is probably number 1 on my resolutions for next year.
* Finish cutting my ties with Google services
* Finalize my solar offgrid system with a tiny bit of home automation
* Focus more (professionally) instead of spreading myself thing over so many areas and interests (so hard to do...)
* Read/study the Bhagavad Gita
I will spend less time browsing reddit and hacker news to spend more time focused on my interests.
- Grew the startup from 3 to 15 engineers
- Learned a ton about systems and people
- Failed on my resolution to read more books than before
In 2020 I hope to
- Write one blog post per week (or more realistically per month)
- Mentor 3 to 5 people or startups
- Become even better at cooking
- Continue growing the team and hire more amazing new people
Cheers
Learn French. Set up a blog w/ something more sophisticated than WP. (Probably wagtail) Improve my webdev skills on Python/CSS/Regex/Docker/Azure. Run more. Drink less. Sleep more consistently.

I didn't follow any system, just tried stretching exercises I remember from my days of doing karate as a kid and another exercises I was taught on physiotherapy.

Generally cobra stretch type manoeuvres are a good starting point. Don't neglect some strengthening of the upper/mid back, even if it's just some resistance bands etc.
