Most people will tell you to devote real time to exercise every day, which is correct, but I've never found that doable. I'm too busy/lazy/distracted. So I'm a big fan of little efforts. Definitely eat better. That's easy, and takes little effort. For eye strain, use a timer and follow the 20/20/20 rule - every 20 minutes look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds (I built timerdoro.com just for this purpose, which I run in fluid). For stiff back, and other aches and pains, try a standing desk. Whether you stand or not, set a timer to stretch every 20 minutes. Just come up with a simple routine and do it. It becomes pavlovian. :-) For the last few weeks, I've done this 7-minute workout every day before I shower. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/projects/workouts/ http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/projects/workouts/ It's 7 minutes. I have no excuse not to do it. In my experience, if you try to jump in with a big, real commitment, you'll fail. Try little hacks and routines instead.
