ed us with a way to do things differently. They introduced the concept of adding layers! By pushing the raw data through multiple layers, every layer extracts features. The first layer extracts some low-level patterns, while later layers extract more and more high-level features.

To my surprise, the 20-minute sessions increased to 30. Under lockdown, the 3 times a week rhythm turned into 40 minutes almost every day. Since we were released, I’ve been feeling like turning to outdoor activities such as running or surfing. Sometimes, I just go for a long walk.

Do you know why I hated exercising? Because I couldn’t find any mental strength to resist the pain, and I would stop as soon as it started to be difficult. This confronted me with my own weakness.

Suddenly, to my great surprise, all the difficulty disappeared. I felt like running was my new way of walking. I was in a state of flow. I eagerly went over the 40-minute mark, then the 1-hour mark, and reluctantly stopped the clock at 1:10 because my parents were waiting for me for dinner. It was the longest and best run I ever completed.

Some of the highlights of my time there were designing an un-gendered safer sex infographic, and a card game used to teach men who have sex with men in India about HIV risks as part of our research arm’s global HIV/AIDS reduction work.

The other one is the 20-minute rule. Whatever the activity, the first 20 minutes are always the most difficult. It always feels like I’ll barely manage to reach my goal. But once those 20 minutes are over, everything seems easier.

I worked with queer people whose lived experiences were far different from my own. Unhoused trans youth, men of color who have sex with men but don’t identify as gay, sex workers, elderly LGBTQ people…

You’ll be surprised by your own body. Its capacity. And sometimes you’ll be surprised oppositely: you expected your session to be long and intense, and you end up stopping at 20 minutes because you can’t take any more.

Working with the queer community is a gift, not because I see my own identity reflected in the work but because the diversity within the community has broadened my understanding of the world while deepening my sense that I belong here.

Last week I went out for a 40-minute jog. I had decided to go to the park near my parents’ house, a nice green 1.3 km loop. It was late afternoon and I saw the sunset giving way to total darkness. The first 20 minutes were a bit difficult as always — I’ll come back to that later.

Some of my decade-old work for Fenway Health. LEFT TO RIGHT: wrap-around covers for the “female” internal condoms targeting men who have sex with men, a safer sex infographic that doesn’t reference gender or sexuality, a shameless plug for butt health.

Having the common misconception that you as a designer are the sole arbiter of what good design is challenged so early in my career is one of the biggest kindnesses the queer community has ever done me.

I’ve become addicted to the feeling of well-being and the pleasant physical fatigue that comes after every training session. Sometimes it’s even my primary motivation to cross the threshold. This anticipation.

Whenever I feel angry, tense, distracted, lost in brain fog, anxious or sad, I jump into my shorts and training shoes and go running. It. Always. Work. It has never failed me. Moving my body seems to move my brain in the process, rearranging it in a whole new way and giving me a whole new day.

For a year now, exercise has been part of my daily routine. In case you’re hesitating to take a similar trip, I’ve summarized my little experience here. Here are the results you can expect from 40 minutes of moderate exercise a day, without having to change your whole lifestyle or diet.
