So...why don't you have time?
Hint...It isn't because you don't have time. I'll bet it's because you don't make time, no matter what you tell yourself day after day.
Because I used to tell myself that. I spent lots of time over two decades telling myself that. Then one day I was asked if I truly knew that definitively. That meant doing a formal accounting of my time.
And I still do that, to this day - once every quarter or so, I track a day in the life of me and Fernandes Fit LLC - every second of that day.
Why? Numbers don't lie. I can't convince myself of anything else but what the numbers say because they're staring me in the face.
If I'm wasting time, and we all inevitably do that to various extents, we now know why. Which means all that's left is to fix it.
Me...I get a little old school to do that. I still use Google on my phone to keep track of my schedule. But every Sunday morning, I write everything going on for the week - the constants, tasks that pop up from time to time, the one-offs - onto a physical calendar.
I assign a time limit for each based on past history of doing them. I check each one of them off the calendar of course. But if I don't complete a task in the allotted time, I know I'm not being efficient enough with my time - and I make adjustments to change that.
All that includes everything I personally do, including when workouts get done. That way, I can never say I don't have enough time.
...where
