In Praise of Walking

Personally I am a lot more productive during + after walking in nature. It saves me a lot of time if I walk through a forest before or during writing code. Better code, less mistakes, less refactoring etc etc. The effect (again personally) is far less if not nature but a city for instance.

Last week I alternated reading programming books and coding with jogging sessions. Every time I hit a mental block or just coding fatigue. I'd leave and run a bit. It wasn't super effective but overall it avoided stress and gave room for free mind wandering and new ideas.

That's why I went from short jobs to long walks; I can pretty much do most my work (70%) while walking (in forests; not in the city; I would get literally hit by a truck). It seems it does not give me the same fatigue is setting and taking pauses in the office.

Sorry, jogs... I was actually walking when talking to my phone to post that :) Unlike software, it did not generate a syntax error.
