I’ve found that watching videos I enjoy while doing PT exercises helps. A key component of this strategy was to get a laptop stand with an adjustable angle so that I can position my screen somewhere I can see it (different places depending on how I’m physically positioned for each exercise).
I appreciate your comment because it let me know that more focus should be given to the general concept of “hiding something in peanut butter”, versus my specific application of it. I edited the post to reflect this. Thanks!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What can I say, that’s my peanut butter.
Extrapolating from the general concept, I wonder what other people’s “peanut butter” is? Meaning, what’s a difficult task that people have successfully hidden between doing things they love?
I’ve tried this approach, and although it works well during the early part of the game, in the late game, a single turn can take 5-10 minutes, which is much less helpful as an exercise interlude.
I guess it depends on whether you are trying to maximize the amount of [exercise X] you do, or whether there’s a fixed quantity of [exercise X] that you are trying to force yourself to do. If the latter, obviously it will take longer if you do it while playing Civ but that’s not necessarily a problem.
I was so excited about this post until I realized the metaphorical peanut butter was also exercise.

Civ is famous for “just one more turn”—maybe you can hide whatever it is in between turns?
