Scientifically Proven Cognitive Benefits Of Exercise

My first two hours of work yesterday left me feeling like a truck had driven over me. We had a major production outage.
My first two hours of work yesterday left me feeling like a truck had driven over me. We had a major production outage.
We had to quickly assemble the right cross functional experts, diagnose the problem and get the system up ASAP.
The clock was ticking and I was tasked with updating the client in regular zoom sessions throughout.
Translating complex concepts to everyone and helping the group move forward even though some of the technical detail was way above my pay grade.
I have a friend at work who sometimes jokes with me (tongue firmly in cheek): “Don’t forget, this is why we get paid the medium bucks.”
At the end of the day we could look back and say the root causes were identified, the problems fixed, the client updated, all incident reports created and longer term preventive maintenance tasks logged.
All in a days work. Except... By the end of the day I was exhausted, stressed and felt just plain empty. (Probably didn’t help that I still had to attend an important online MBA lecture during lunchtime!)
But by dinner I was a new man. What happened? I went for a workout on my way home! A brutal, fierce workout that crushed my body but lifted my mood and restored my sanity.
Tomorrow we’ll look at the many and massive scientifically proven cognitive benefits of exercise.
