My strategy so far has been to put my running clothes on first thing when I get up, even before breakfast, so that I'm one step closer to being able to get right up and go.Angela Knottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596658700954456205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-20306980949076559222012-04-03T12:39:32.154-07:002012-04-03T12:39:32.154-07:00When I was toward the tail end of grad school and ...When I was toward the tail end of grad school and doing most of my work from home, and later when I was unemployed/looking for work, I was in the same position you're in now — I had all day to space my work and errands and exercise out, and yet somehow the evening would roll around and I still wouldn't have run! By the time I started my job, I was practically back on a 9-5 schedule already because I found that was the only way I could guarantee I'd do things. (It also helped that my pool was less busy at 7:30 a.m. than it was at 10 a.m., so I was already exercising early on my swim days. Yeah, I know, whose gym is busier at 10 a.m. than 7:30? Ugh.) <br /><br />I don't have much in the way of tips other than just getting used to the schedule over time. I have found that it helps to have my clothes picked/laid out in advance; even though sometimes I end up changing my mind because of weather, I'll carry whatever I set out the night before into the bathroom with me right after I get out of bed and then BOOM! the next thing you know I'm wearing running shorts and I guess I might as well go running. I don't know if you drink coffee, but (back when my coffee maker could reliably make coffee...but I digress) I like to set the timer on the coffee maker so I know there will be coffee brewing when I get home and done by the time I'm out of the shower.Kimrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665713508270002188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-23527585415213817962012-04-03T12:15:46.255-07:002012-04-03T12:15:46.255-07:00I am in between office gigs right now and doing fr...I am in between office gigs right now and doing freelance stuff from home. I'm also appreciating the freedom to go running whenever I please, but you are right, it still takes dedication to not procrastinate and get it done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
