Thanks cal! Whoever is editing these - the intro is very loud compared to the actual podcast clip. Bit of a shock! Thanks

Breaking up the exercise routine into various parts of the day, works for me. It is refreshing, gets me out of the chair and upright which is great for my back, and allows me to get in a full workout over the course of the day.
Also, when the schedule permits I make it to the gym. This gives me interaction with others and is motivating and enjoyable.

Should I exercise before or after Deep work?
1) It depends on you. But preferably don't push exercise at the end, try to do it early.
2) You can also do small bits of exercise for 5-10 mins at regular intervals of the day(e.g. at every 3 hour, pullups, jumping, etc).
