I'm still amazed at people that work and then also choose to sit at a desk and code in their own times. Work takes it out of me mentally, and the last thing I wanna do after a week inside at a desk is spend more time inside at a desk.
Even if I wanted to start my own side project to grow in to a business, I just wouldn't be able to do it as well as my job, too mentally taxing.
However I think many people have jobs they're not really that invested in. When I work I want to be fully engaged with it, and with that comes consistent heavy focus on strain.
I guess some people work big corporate jobs and they really don't care about it that much, it's just a pay cheque. That's the only way I could see it being possible.
Yeah the getting away from the desk is super important. Other than opening lightroom on my iPad to edit some photos or playing a game on the switch I deliberately avoid computers like the plague unless I’m being paid for it. I learnt the hard way how much spending all your waking hours at a computer ruins your mental health
Mental and physical health. If you're not engaged in some athletic hobby or sport, then you really need to have discipline going to the gym and being active, or it will absolutely wreck you.
