Get Serious About Exercise
Not enough hours in the day to get all your work done, or those tasks that need doing around the house, or to spend time with your family, or to even have some quiet time to yourself? Living in such a fast-paced and demanding world, it seems like there are never enough hours in the day to get everything done. What's the one thing we always seem to make a priority in our day? Work, of course. If we don't head off to our job, and complete the hours we are rostered on for, then naturally, we are not going to get paid. What does that then mean? We can't pay our bills, our rent/mortgage, nor be able to buy food. That's not a position we want to find ourselves in, that's for sure. So we therefore make work our priority. Now this wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that we spend a bucket load of hours dedicated to our job. Gone are the days of working 9 to 5! Nowadays, spending only 8 hours of our day at work would be a dream come true. These days, many people find themselves working anywhere from 9, up to 15 hours a day. Throw in the time spend commuting to and from work also, and there's another hour or two spent dedicated to work. We find ourselves in the position where we can't really bargain with the hours we work, because we need that precious salary, in order to survive accordingly. So with 24 hours in the day, by subtracting say an average of 10 hours at work, and another hour for commuting, we are left with just 12 hours of our day. That doesn't look so bad though, right? Well let's also deduct the time we spend going to the toilet, having a shower, preparing meals, and then eating meals, so we will subtract another two hours there, which leaves us with 10 hours. Still not too bad? We want some time spent with our partner and our children, even some time relaxing in front of the television after a long day, so we will take another 2 hours there. But wait, what about tidying up things around the house, making sure our children are catered for, and all those other little frustrating tasks that must get done? There's another hour. Now all of a sudden, we are left with just 7 hours, and that's barely enough time to get just enough sleep. Don't forget, this is based on an individual who works 10 hours a day, so can you imagine how little time those who work even longer hours have left over? Business owners come to mind here. Right there, our day is complete, and what have we actually achieved that's beneficial for our future? Not much really! We have done the basics of living a typical everyday life, yet haven't contributed anything towards the pursuit of our goals, or creating the lifestyle we desire. Not only that, but we have failed to make time for something that should never be sacrificed from our daily schedule, and that is exercise!

Can’t Find Time to Exercise? Here Are Some Ways to Improve Exercise Efficiency
Finding time to exercise is no easy task for many people. During a leadership training I completed in 2016, the instructor asked us to use a substation for the phrase “I don't have time.” Instead, we were to use “I do not prioritize.” Try it and see how it makes you feel. If it makes you squirm, you are likely failing to prioritize something should. The problem with this substitution is it is shame- and guilt-inducing in situations it should not be.
