Does anyone else have a hard time with this?
I'd consider myself a fairly physically fit individual, but as I've progressed through my years, I keep finding it harder and harder to stick to my fitness schedules. I really do try to give some time to the gym, but being someone who prioritizes, I've realized that I'm devoting much less time to maintaining my physical health in order to stay on top of my studies. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but after years of hitting the gym, I find that I'm dependent on it for maintaining my mood and overall mental health (that's a good thing? I guess?). As a result of this, when I begin to "slow down" with the gym, my mood begins to deteriorate, and this begins affecting my studies. To alleviate, I devote more time to the gym, which also gives me less time to study! A real conundrum..
So I'm just wondering, for those of you who still gym regularly, how do you properly (realistically) manage your time?
Less, but more efficient workouts? (less days/week, shorter workouts, etc)
More efficient studying (with study aids, maybe?)
etc
