Whenever I get a new job I optimize for work and stop fitness for awhile. It’s a lot of load to focus on work, and also skip eating what I want (iced coffees, whatever lunch is nearby, etc). I also just want to skip the gym.

I never introduce fitness again until I settle into a new position. This is just optimal for me in terms of dealing with stress.

It’s kind of like refactoring code in a new codebase, takes awhile to settle in and figure out the new routine.
