[Work] Up between calls

Back-to-back calls again today, the kind where one ends and the next is already waiting, and I’d been in the same chair since morning without once standing up. Yesterday I decided to get up between meetings that run straight into each other, just long enough to reach the hallway and back. Today’s the second day it’s held, mostly thanks to a sticky note on the monitor that just says ‘up’ (which feels like a strange thing to need a reminder for, but here we are).

Unisex winter slippers crafted from cotton fabric in a combination of blue and gray hues.

Plan for the rest of the week is modest – stand between stacked calls, skip it when there’s a real gap, and not turn it into some bigger routine, since that’s usually how these things fall apart for me.

    a sticky note works better than you’d think, i tried the same thing on night shifts and it held for about 2 weeks before i slid back into just sitting

    The part about not turning it into some bigger routine really got me, every time I build a whole system it falls apart by day 3…

    6 weeks in and routine’s what made it stick!
