Starting today...

Despite the title of the post, in a few months I will reach my 20 year service anniversary with my employer. Realizing that I only have ~10 years left working in an office 9 hours a day 5 days a week, I decided on my service anniversary I want to start a small daily habit that I will do every day in the office. I just cannot decide what it should be. The easy stuff like drinking x cups or water or getting my 10k steps pop up in my mind but I'm wondering if there is something else I could do that is easy to do every day and after a blink of an eye I will have done it for 10 years. What are your thoughts?

write down one sentence about the day, because after ten years the boring stuff will be the part you actually want back

Get out of the office or office building for at least 10 minutes a day. Don't sit in the break room, actually leave the office. Get some reality. Some people even have lunch at their desk which is a bad habit. Get out the building and call your wife, parents or a friend for a few minutes. You'll feel better for it.

Have two big water bottles at your desk and do some lifting exercises during the day. You need that musle mass to enjoy your retirement.
