>When we tend to rest too much, like for example sitting continuously for hours What about walking around for 5 mins after every pomodoro. Is it still considered "too much sitting" ?
Hours of inactivity will harm you. Frequent breaks, help.
There is this counter argument. http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2017/09/27

I wouldn't recommend focusing on push-ups, they are counterproductive if you have the typical "computer posture" with hunched/forward shoulders. Chin-ups, rows, and similar are likely to be a better idea.
> Chin-ups, rows, and similar are likely to be a better idea. And in my opinion are entirely missing the point because they take more pre-planning and effort. Even if only a little. The problem people are trying to solve is "how do I go from nothing to exercising even a little?" The problem you are helping them solve is "how do I get more/ the most out of my workout?" It's a serious pet-peeve of mine. I know you ment…

As for programming languages, I've sent "pull requests" for AutoHotKey programs via Reddit PM before. If it's the right tool (or a decent one) for the job...
> When you need to ask a colleague something, walk up to his/her desk instead of dropping a message 'Did you get that email I sent you?' Ahhhhhh~ No. Please don't. There's plenty of good advice on this article, but be careful that the things that you do for yourself don't negatively impact other people ; that's not be healthy, its being thoughtless and selfish.
It never ceases to amaze me how much others think they entitled to your time while working. They'll start conversations when all nonverbal signals show you are trying to get something done. Im at the point where I am going to be forced to be outright rude, which is not easy for me, just to be able to work undisturbed.

"Can we talk about this later? I need to get done by ." isn't rude (at least by my barbarian standards), and it would be very rude to ignore such a request.
I regularly go to the gym to lift weights and I keep my body fat under control by strict control of eating times (I fast for hours every day). I'm very strong and look good. But I'm constantly battling with finding enough time for everything. I basically want to have all my time to code, but I also want to do other things (I also play guitar and cook, and I sleep at least 8 hours a day). I don't think this feeling wi…
I'm facing the exact same situation, except I cannot care less about food, which frees up some cooking time. How do you manage your social life along with these activities? I find that it gets in the way of things I do, but on the other hand, not keeping in touch with friends (who don't do the same activities as you) just drives them away.
I've seen a lot of articles about sitting but always have some questions: - I work with computers so sitting or standing a large portion of time is inevitable. - Is the real problem sitting/standing, or being unfit? If I don't get fat and if I keep fit, will I be ok? Or will sitting still harm me? - If the claim is that sitting still harms me, how robust is the science here? Do they control for the above? If sitting,…
- Overweight, unfit, and sitting/standing for long periods.
- Unfit and sitting/standing for long periods but not overweight.
- Sitting/standing for long periods but not overweight or unfit.
If obesity was the only health-related issue you could just eat less. If Obesity and unfitness were the only issues you could just get some exercise outside of work hours. And if all three are an issue you'd want to keep active as much as possible during work (although not too much... because physical labour jobs hurt people's health too).

Im at the point where I am going to be forced to be outright rude Our society is at a point where there are large numbers of people who think their feelings trump larger concerns, like those of the workplace, their job, driver/pedestrian safety, and the rule of law. There is a set of ideas that involves executive function, the delay of gratification, the adherence to ideals, and subsuming the petty ego. It's called b…

This holds up to a point, but if your role is so demanding that you cannot hold a conversation (presuming a work conversation but also applies to social - up to a point obviously), then your either not very good at your job or your employer sets unrealistic expectations, or your good and the employer is realistic but you just want to get ahead. I've worked with people that are a clamshell. It's not a very nice enviro…
> if your role is so demanding that you cannot hold a conversation (presuming a work conversation but also applies to social - up to a point obviously), then your either not very good at your job or your employer sets unrealistic expectations... Or they are a developer. Being interrupted while programming is really rough. It's like being an insomniac and having trouble falling asleep, when someone walks up and starts…
Side note: the entire site ( http://elth.co ) appears to be a single-person operation (a side project even — “I am currently put up in the lovely city of Bangalore in India, working for a startup as an Android Engineer.”) Kudos to the creator (OP). Looks to be a very well-done (if click-baity, but hey, that’s how you....well....kind of...get clicks these days) project, and it comes across very much like many of the l…
That makes it even more impressive. My first thought when I saw the article was "this is a well designed website". I love the typography!
A quick look at the source suggests that this might be the WordPress theme that the site is based on: https://themeforest.net/item/times-extraordinary-newspaper-m...
