"In the development world not everyone understands what it is to be a developer/programmer so trying to explain that it is a mentally tiring job can be hard."
So true...

Thanks for sharing this!
Today I was reviewing some concepts and sat in front of my computer for more than 4 hours. I felt physically uncomfortable after that, then I went to play with my cat and look at the sky, and I realized that I hadn't quietly looked at the sky for a very long time.
Sometimes doing nothing is the best thing to do.

Hi Lechang, itโ€™s so easy to do unfortunately! Time just flys and you donโ€™t realise youโ€™ve been staring at something for hours.
Iโ€™m really glad you managed to walk away and it helped you feel better ๐Ÿ™‚
My cat definitely reminds me to get up most of the time, they can be a great distraction ๐Ÿ™‚
