When time is an issue

[Quotes Papa]

I'm a lover of many sports and physical activities, but recently I struggle with lack of time and having to prioritize.

Time of course, can be arranged in any ways, which I'm very aware of. One could say that sports are lower on my priority list these days.

Keeping in good health however is still a high priority.

So these days I've started walking. Not much, just around 1 kilometer, but basically every day.

Doing some simple stretching during the walk but nothing else really. Takes about 20 minutes and feels refreshing.

How about you? How do you tackle limited time and still keep good health?

If there is not a weight issue then it matters what age you are. In America there are all these teens and college students walking long distances or running. Then most of the people over 40 take a car, bus or train. People over 40 need the exercise much more than the college aged students. The oldest guy in the world said that up until recently, he was walking 4 hours a day.

You just list everything that you need to do and prioritize. Say you need to work to get all of your rent. High priority. Say you have money for all that you need but want to make more just to have more since he who dies with the most toys wins. Then that work is a low priority.

Eating is a low priority since Americans eat about 10 times more food than they need. If you fast for a week you will save all of the time of shopping, preparing food, eating, cleaning up and even sitting on the toilet.

If you feel that you are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to making time to do what you want to get done, that itself is a health issue. It can actually wear someone down real fast, all the scheduled and committed stuff.

Balance is tricky. Especially when the things that attract our attention takes enormous amounts of time. And even more tricky when you know exactly what to do step by step for the following years in micro level.

Patience ahh.... I shall conquer my tasks and keep the balance with patience and more patience

I feel like I can possibly always find time, but my real problem is my schedule is very sporadic and routines can't really sink in with school, art, work, social life, relationship, etc.

Anytime I have an open window to really dig into a work out I take it, otherwise I fill in the gaps by always taking stairs even if its a lot of levels, walking places instead of driving, and just being active throughout the day in little ways like that.

I gained 10 pounds over the past year even though I manage to exercise pretty regularly somehow, but I feel the real difference is the year before, aside from the workouts being a bit more extensive, I walked pretty much all the time, I only used my car if I had to go more than a 3 mile distance so I walked very often.
