1. Downsize your TO-DO list - Make a list of 5 (just 5) MUST accomplish list. Your list should fit on a large post-it note....if is doesn't bump it to the next day....
2. Get off the phone - don't spend all your free time catching up with your friends.....or if you have to....talk while you are picking up the kids....and other times...
3. Maximize your weekends - a lot of people take off the weekend from the gym.....you can...only if you workout on the weekdays....weekends are usually not as full of MUST GO'S and DO's. You can also put your exercise into good work around the house and/or yard. Go to the park with the kids....
4. Monitor your EMAIL time - pick a couple times in the morning, afternoon, and night to check your email....(about 5 email checks a day) You should be able to free up 15 minutes...
5. Give yourself a Takeout PASS - many of us stress about "What's for Dinner?" and just skip the gym and go to the store....Give yourself a pass for 1 night a week to eat out....but don't eat JUNK.
6. Research as shown that people that make time for their workout in the morning.....will sleep as much as those who don't.....set your alarm for 30 minutes earlier than you normally would....you should get that same amount of sleep if you didn't.....(and you quality of sleep is even better)
7. Have a plan....you are more likely to exercise if you have planned ahead and designated a time for fitness. Meet a friend, plan it around your kids activities, or even your favorite TV show.....Book in advance, and you'll be more likely to make it happen. Set your clothes out....or pack them to take them with you to work.....
If you have any other tips....share with us....
