Getting your numbers in through the day and maintaining the other aspects of your life can be quite difficult. I for one sometimes can't seem to find the time to set aside to get training done at home.. This is at least until it finally clicked in last week and I figured it out. Let me explain.
Before, I had the thought process of needing to set a solid hour or so for training at home every day after work and doing nothing else. This was not a very good plan in retrospect. Things come up and that hour is all of a sudden turned into 15 minutes. Or I fall behind with other responsibilities and become unnecessarily stressed. Don't get me wrong it worked a lot of the time, it was just hard to sustain.
For instance, I've been making an effort to spend some time with my little brother throughout the week. Being that he is living with me and my relationship with him is the one I chose to mend this year, I figure this is very important. This of course cuts down on training time.
My "revelation" is simply what we have been told several times before. That is to not try to schedule time, but sneak some kung fu in amongst other activities I do. When playing games with my bro, if we finish a level or something, I do a rep of pushups, situps or either of my forms. When working on my motorcycle, if I take a part off or put one back on I practice on some curriculum. When I cook... well you get the idea. I am happy I have come to this realization, mixing my martial art with everything else I do will help me greatly on my path to mastery.
Take care everyone.
