“Spontaneous!” is a lovely word. Spontaneous people jet off to Monaco for the weekend. They buy everyone rounds of drinks. They are full of love, life and money—and, of course, they’re thin without effort.
In reality, however, the glitterati aren’t spontaneous at all. Their staffs do their planning for them. To get to Monaco, someone must budget for it and find time in a set schedule. If you buy a round for everyone, you identify designated drivers first. And if you want to improve your body, you block out time for the effort.
Each week holds 168 hours. Subtracting eight hours each day for sleep leaves 112 hours to work, eat, watch TV, volunteer, surf the web, visit a friend in the hospital—and exercise. You have all the time you need if you’ll take your calendar and plan it out clearly.
Spontaneity is a myth—true pleasure comes from a simple, well-constructed plan. Schedule some “me” time this week—and raise a toast of skim milk to your health!
P.S. Your new year "boot camp" is coming . . . Yoga-style!
