I suppose it was technically possible while working in an office, but such a hassle. Always resulted in losing some workout time around the edges, too.

An hour in the morning and an hour-and-a-half around lunch have made it so much easier to stay sane, and provide nice cover to decline meetings by pointing to a calendar conflict.

Exercise is magical, it gives you superpowers of focus and confidence that you can solve all problems. If everything is going wrong, it's the first place to check - are you exercising? If not, fix that. And maybe everything else goes away.
