I slept in, I ate a crap breakfast, missed an appointment and look like hell.

Things have been tough lately. I didn’t get to sleep till 4am.

Whatever.

I know what it feels like to feel like this. I know this because this happens to me all the time. Sometimes I get stuck in a patch of life that seems really rough. People die, relationships fail, bosses can be cocks, things break, illnesses happen, families have troubles, wallets stay empty and the sight of  “Palmer Savings Account: -$1500 becomes too normal.. and the list goes on.

I am willing to bet that you reading this have difficulties too. If you don’t, then you must not be from the human being family.

Despite being human and having ups and downs, I think I managed to scrap the silver lining off todays thunderstorm cloud.

I realized how much time I spend fluffing around doing pointless crap that doesn’t add anything productive to my life, actually making me feel worse. Because I don’t know about you, but when I have a really unproductive day, sleep in and miss a workout, I feel worse than ever.

I am going to make a pact from today on to only focus on things that matter the most to me in my life and keep non-productive activities to a minimum.

You might wonder, what is this grid here for.

This grid is this year.2010.

We are nearly a quater through this grid.

How many of these grids do you have left?

When you can see your life before you on a collection of 40, maybe 50 or 60 grids. Something happens.

You start to wonder if it is worth sleeping in.

Does it really matter if you don’t watch the news, dramas on tv, every new movie, infomercials etc?

(I stumbled across this information here)

When you can’t be bothered working out, ask yourself these questions:

  • What am I going to do instead? Is it something worthwhile that will improve my life?
  • Why can’t I be bothered? Did I break up my routine?
  • My workout will only be an hour, why is that so hard?
  • Do I want to be a lazy slob?
  • What is more important, being in exceptional health or slacking off for an hour?

Book in workouts in your journal or diary and stick them out. I always find that the hardest bit about a workout is starting, the rest gets easy after that.
