Appointment with Change.

Okay.  You're busy.  But these same responsibilities existed when you were working with a trainer.  You  consistently scheduled (and followed through with) your appointments then. . .

How is now any different just because you're training on your own?

Make a point to physically schedule training time into your day. . . and then respect that time as you would any other appointment or meeting.

"Time to train" won't just magically appear for you -- you've got to create it and obligate yourself to it whether you're using a coach. . . or coaching yourself.

I completely agree with this line of thinking. Nice post!

Best wishes.

Totally agree with this post Chris. I hear a lot of people say they don't have the time to train. Very few of these people are that much busier than the average person.
