To get a work out, going to the gym is not the only option. You can get some walking/running done near your work. If you are working on a PC or a Laptop try to get one of those stand and work equipment (the one where you can change from sitting to standing).
Hopefully the work part would become more exciting and will keep your interest and excitement intact. Hopefully the job will move you to an office space and mitigate the distractions.
Might be a small thing but I take the stairs everyday instead of the elevator. I have to park on a high level so this is 6-8 flights of stairs round trip every day. Not a ton but its something.
We have the standing desks, I've been on the list to get one since my first day but its a big company and stuff can take a while sometimes. I followed up yesterday and should be any day now.
People much further up the ladder are still in the same environment as I am so I don't see myself getting out of the cubicle area any time soon. I think getting some noise cancelling headphones is likely my best option.

Namely, whether to go pro at poker or for some it's whether to try and transition out of poker and back into the 9/5 workforce.
This thread shows both sides of the coin and is super helpful and interesting to use as a comparison to show pros and cons of the decisions.
I could see it eventually going back to you returning to poker someday with a whole new perspective, too! Am interested to see where this leads...best of luck and thanks for documenting it.
Thanks! Glad to hear some actually want to hear about the 9-5 transition which, quite frankly, I expected to be boring to write/read about. Pleasantly surprised to know that at least for some that's not the case.
Returning to poker is within the realm of possibility, with a caveat. I think its highly unlikely that I go back to grinding as my main/sole source of income. However, if somewhere down the line I get some traction with a side project that begins to produce a significant source of income, I can certainly see myself leaving the job-sphere and combining whatever side project it is with a part-time grind schedule to fill in the gaps.
Thanks again for the kind words!
