Time Is a major factor in your bodybuilding routine.It can cause you to focus your thought elsewhere,instead of your training. Your mind wanders ontosomething else while you perform a set of curls. Yourthinking --

"Yep, I need to get this done later. Oh! What aboutthat other thing I've got goin' on? Right, I'll finishup here quickly and get it done".

Get the idea?

Do you ever find yourself having a conversation in yourhead, all while you're performing your training routine?

Time waits for no man It can interfere, especiallywhen you don't have enough of it. It's often difficultto get the time to train, or do other things in yourlife. You can explain it anyway you like. But there'sno getting away from the fact --

Everybody, Everywhere, Only Has 24 Hours A Day.

"So, how come others manage and I can't?" I hear you say."Obviously they don't have as much to do as I have."

Like I said, we all have the same amount of time.Here's another comparison for you:

Look at rich people. They only have 24 hours in a daytoo. Yet they're still rich and others are working andare living on the bread line. That's a little extreme,I know.

But, do you get what I'm saying here?

Here's what it boils down to --

Time Management:In this scenario 'Time Management' is the key to yourbodybuilding routine, and your life too. If you don'tmanage your time properly, you're setting yourself upfor a fall.

If You Fail To Plan - You Plan To Fail.

So, just how do you manage your time properly?

By allotting a certain amount of time per activity inyour life. For each task, job or item you have to doin your life everyday, you must allot a certain amountof time to each one.

Don't just do this for your bodybuilding routine. Lookat your life right now. Determine how much youactually do with each day. Write it down, includingyour bodybuilding routine.

Then count the number of activities you do on a dailybasis. Once you've done this, determine how much timeyou can afford to all of these activities in a day.

Divide the time you have available between all theactivities you need to do. Give a little more time tothe things you place more importance on such as, yourbodybuilding routine.

Then create a schedule around this. It's that simple.My suggestion is that you write those activities downand allot a certain amount of time to each one. Thetotal time for all ativities combined shouldn't exceedthe time you have available each day.

Now what have you done?

You have just learned to manage your time. You nowhave time to do each activity each day. You can nowdevote the proper amount of time to your bodybuildingroutine. This means that you will get your routine inat the appropriate times. And you will train properly,rather than rush through it in an effort to get ontosometing else.
