Your alarm goes off, and you are already behind on emails. The last thing you have time for is a 60-minute gym session. Most people skip exercise because they think it needs to be a long ordeal.

3:45 PM. You are staring at your screen, re-reading the same sentence for the fourth time. Coffee number three sits cold on your desk, but it hasn’t helped.
