I used to be 30% physical and 70% mental. But I find being the other way around now is more stimulating and helps me sleep better and helps me to also think better
I am healthier for it
Ever notice how people who have to sit all day, and do all mental work, are stressed out?
Because, in spite of how much we enjoy our work ... you do get bored when it's all mental, you notice time passing, and even a tiny bit of redundancy becomes annoying as hell. With physical activity you can switch off all but the focused thought, you forget about the clock, and things change more often ... it's almost a zen thing.
For me, it is the other way around. I've had jobs where I've performed repetitive manual labor, and felt like I was dieing a slow death.
Working a factory line is living hell to me.
You have never had the pleasure of working for fast food ... that's a rush ... work during a peak time, your shift is over before you realize it, but you can't calm down for an hour afterward ... I loved those jobs ... until they started making me manager, then I hated them.
