Hi Sean,
First of all……great post. I have two cats……as most developers do…..just because cats are smart. Also have a dog…she’s the best dog in the world and needs a 8k walk daily.
My advice to everyone is get a dog…that you need to walk. They become a motivation to get body and head space.
Join a gym….if you can….but either way..make sure you go for regular physical activity….helps body and mind…..as cats don’t like going for walks……..unless it involves catching a bird!
