Design an ergonomic workday that doesn't wreck you

- Use it for
- Anyone whose workday leaves them physically drained or sore, who wants a schedule that actually accounts for it.
A workday planned purely around tasks and meetings tends to leave physical wellbeing as an afterthought — breaks happen if there's time left over, which usually means they don't happen. Designing the schedule with specific break, movement, and hydration intervals built in from the start, placed against your actual meeting schedule, is what makes them actually happen instead of getting silently dropped.
When not to use this
If your role already has natural movement built in throughout the day (not desk-bound for long stretches), this level of scheduling is unnecessary.
Did this work?
You have specific break and movement intervals placed against your actual schedule, not a generic "take breaks" reminder.
