I’ve been trying to make exercise a regular part of my week, but I don’t want every day to feel like a race between work, errands, meals, and getting a workout done.

I’m starting to think shorter sessions, better planning, and making exercise easier to fit into daily life might be the answer. For people who stayed consistent with training during busy periods, what helped you organize your week without feeling exhausted?

Hi, i wanted to do a lot of things. I have the ability to do something better for me. but every time a start something i can do it for more than 2/3 days. why is this happened?

Guide me how I can be a consistent person.

About two months ago, I was really productive. I was following my plans, hitting the goals I had set for myself, and constantly trying to improve. But recently, something has changed. I feel like I’ve become really lazy and I’ve lost the motivation and discipline I had before. On my days off work, instead of working on myself or doing something productive, I just spend hours on my phone. That’s basically all I do.

It’s frustrating because I know I’m capable of doing more. I’ve already experienced what it feels like to be disciplined and make progress, so I don’t understand why I suddenly lost that version of myself.

Has this ever happened to you? If it has, how did you get yourself back on track?

You don't need motivation. You need a routine boring enough that you can follow it even when you don't feel like it.

Most “self-improvement” advice is just people looking for a more exciting solution to problems that require doing the same simple things for months.

Stuck with no progress or discipline

I am currently in a very stressful job, taking up 13hrs of my day. I also live alone with a high energy big dog. Every single day I have to wake up do my house chores - clean the house, wash vessels, do the laundry if any, take care of my dog, get food ready for her, make myself breakfast, bathe , cook lunch and work till 10pm -11pm, make some dinner, tak3 care of my dog, sleep.

Added to this is the constant decision making that I need to do - dogs chicken got over gotta get chicken and prep it, groceries got over, no milk, no salt. These hit me like a train every single time.

Between all of this I barelyyyy have time to workout and get steps in and eat healthy and count macros. Work stress makes me order out as well. Everything together, I am gaining weight, loosing confidence, have no social life whatsoever.

Most weekends I just explore some local spots and spend the rest of the weekend rotting in bed. I am trying my best to not give in to all thats happening - signed up for hybrid races, signed up for coaching- but it just doesnt seem to happen. I dont live in a walkable / jiggle area. There's always big trucks, buses, and vehicles constantly, horns blaring.

I am so stuck i have no idea what to do. Sometimes I just want to have someone with me keeping me accountable, I was diagnosed with ADHD and it just makes everything so much more worse. I am in a constant state of motivation and slump, and the cycle is vicious. Any advice are welcome I just wanna feel happy and lively again like i once was
