Since I live by my digital calendar for work, each week’s exercise gets scheduled in the same color-coded blocks as my meetings. I don’t skip meetings, so I don’t skip my workout.

Wonderful idea!

The 106-year-old veteran reminds me of my 96-year-old father, who still enjoys a dessert of milk and cake (or pie) every night.

It can be a good idea, yes; I've encountered it before.

I think the caveat is, that it works best w. office-type jobs...

That's nice re: your dad :)
