"I shall get up as early as 4:00 am, make myself a cup of tea and probably start hitting the keyboard till whenever it's time for standup or time to meet Mr A".

This is probably the morning ritual of 80% of developers, they pay more attention to the calendar schedules and pay almost no attention to their state of health.

My concerns made me to write this piece, also as a developer, who was unforgettably caught by 2020 coronavirus outbreak and was forced to adopt the newer method of this generation's working style "Remote".

Before the incident of Covid, I was also a victim of the 80% of developers mentioned above, I usually wake up in the morning, look at my schedules for the day and probably head over to the office.

While in the office it's mostly about, writing that piece of code for the next feature from my company, and meetings from the HR to the tribes. This process goes down from Monday till Friday. On Saturdays I feel so weak and burnout.

Moreover, this recycling life of most developers and in turn same as mine is one of the problems we have as software engineers. It might not bother you, but everything you do as a developer or a non-developer largely depends on how active you are to notice things around you.

One of the biggest factors we as developers should pay attention to is our ability to think critically in a healthy state of mind. Most times, it's not always about writing those codes but ensuring we are actually in the best state to solve those problems with our code.

I will go on and list some of the things developers are expected to do to ensure the best state of the mind and health and also to help increase productivity.

1. Develop that attitude of exercising at least two times a week. in as much as your activities may be, always include free times for exercise.

   Being physically active can improve your brain health, help manage weight and help reduce the risk of disease, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your ability to do everyday activities.

2. Build self-awareness and observe what's going on inside your mind. Let go of all those things that create clutters in your mind. Try to forgive people unconditionally and be free. Try to figure out your dharma.

3. Socialization: Develop that teaching impulse control and a conscience, perform certain social roles, and cultivate shared sources of meaning and value.

4. Take good care of your diet. A healthy diet is essential for good health and nutrition. It protects you against many chronic non-communicable diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Eating a variety of foods and consuming less salt, sugars and saturated and industrially-produced trans-fats, are essential for a healthy diet.

5. Don't forget to pay attention to your eye, protect it at all costs. I was a victim of this and I got my right eye damaged after staring for a long time at the screen without taking eye precautions. Use anti-blue light glasses and make sure you give your eye the necessary care it demands. Eat more fruits. Reduce the use of blue lights in your setup rooms and also bedrooms to make sure you give your eye the necessary relaxations it requires.

6. Finally, make sure you don't remain introverted, relationships are one of the most powerful feelings we have as humans. Meet with your family members and loved ones in your free time.

In summary, by paying attention to our health not just as developers but also humans in general we tend to prevent pretigious treat to our level of productivity and help us focus more and be more productive.
