Set an alarm on my phone again this morning, every 45 minutes, get up and stretch for a bit. Did this for about 3 weeks back in spring and then dropped it once my shift schedule flipped and I lost track of what time it even was most days.
On nights again this month, so most of my sitting happens after a shift when I’m winding down with a game for hours, probably not noticing my back’s basically folded over by the end of it (the recliner does not help). Chiropractor’s whole comment last time was “you sit too long,” which, fair enough.
What I’m doing this time:
– alarm every 45 minutes, no snoozing
– stand up, roll the shoulders back, walk to the kitchen and back
– pause the game if I’m mid-match, learned that one the hard way
Also been trying to read some nights instead of gaming, that’s a separate thing I’m working on, going okay so far.
Not expecting much this week, just want 7 days straight without switching the alarm off out of habit. Small goal, but it’s where I’m starting from again.
