Set the timer again before lunch and actually got through the neck rolls instead of letting it run out while I kept typing! Shoulders were still tight by late afternoon though, the laptop doesn’t seem to care how many breaks I take.
What stuck:
– the stretch timer, actually followed through this time
– a walk around the block instead of eating lunch at my desk again
– water instead of another coffee refill
What didn’t:
– the longer strength part from that beginner video, kept pushing it back until it was basically bedtime
– any real cooldown, just a minute of stretching and calling it done
Picked up the knitting after dinner instead, hands needed the break more than my shoulders did if I’m honest. Another call lined up for tomorrow so we’ll see how much of this sticks around…
