From me personally
American Baba: Weekly Yoga & Meditation Contests
Job hunting, interview prep, and more work on top of a full-time role is a lot. During a challenging stretch in the market, joining these weekly yoga and meditation contests helped me manage stress and anxiety, and ironically made me more productive.
You check in daily during a live week, keep a streak, and stay accountable. Win prizes every week. If you're grinding LeetCode or navigating a tough job search, this is the kind of habit that helps you show up clearer.
