[Listen] Block Time Off On Your Calendar For You—Here’s Why

Welcome to the Daily Distance, a new daily series from the creators of #WeGotGoals. In these short episodes, we’re bringing you one daily goal you can set for yourself during this chaotic time- one actionable thing you can do to move your body, connect with a friend, prioritize your mental health, get some work done, and practice a little bit of self-care. 

Melissa Chordock, President of AKT, comes on the podcast today with one primary tip that’s helping her get her workouts in: blocking off her calendar for her daily workouts *and* getting her team’s buy-in to keep that time sacred. We discuss the virtues of calendar-blocking as well as the importance of changing clothes, their plans to tie-dye, and why the simple act of wearing an extra ring is making Melissa happy.
