How Will You Find the Time?
No matter what the activity is - particularly if it's something new you want to introduce into your lifestyle - finding the time is one of the biggest battles.
The simple reality is that if you try to find the time you won't. You will have to make the time.
For instance, if you want to get fit, you will need at least three 20-30 minute sessions of increased heart rate activity each week for cardiovascular development, less time for flexibility and strength.
You will need enthusiasm and commitment. Exercising with friends may help, particularly during the initial month to six weeks where there is little apparent return on your time investment.
The same goes for other self help activities. Split up the range of activities involved, allowing each the proportion of time to do it justice, then schedule it into your week.
And don't move on until you've done it!
