MAKE TIME TO RIDE: Here's how I do it...

Okay, Chad. Chad said, I've had a tough time lately riding and just keeping up with all things BMX

Life has gotten, kind of gotten in the way. Does this happen to you guys? And if so

how do you overcome? So if you guys haven't replied here in the comments, like reply to

Chad on here. I think this is something that happens for everyone. And so I want to hear

your guys' perspectives. And I think it would help Chad out a lot to hear that. Now I'll give

you my two cents, Chad, it absolutely happens to me too. Just, you know, the last few months have

been like that where other things come up and you have to focus on those other things and just

trust that there's going to be time to get back into it or figure out a way to work around it so

that you can make sure that you have time to do that. So for example, like for me, I just got so

focused on the YouTube and the website and everything else that I have going on here

I felt like I was in the BMX world enough and I wouldn't ride very much

And I'm really a lot happier when I actually get out and get to ride

And so I spent, I don't know, probably six hours on a Monday putting in my schedule

like into my actual calendar. And like, I'll block out time here to reply to emails

I'll block out time to schedule social media posts and to film videos and to edit videos

and to write website things. And so that everything was structured for a certain day

And then I added, so Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I go to the gym in the mornings and I don't usually ride those days unless I have extra time

But then Tuesday Thursday Saturday Sunday those four days of the week I have a two hour block at nighttime to go out to the skate park and to ride because that was just getting overlooked And I was really unhappy about

it. Had to take a look at everything I was doing, cut out the things that were pretty useless and

open up extra time to ride. Like real life is tough. There's a lot of things going on, but

there's you, you have the, the ability to prioritize and to, to schedule yourself. You know what I

mean? So, so you've got to take a look at that and figure out which things are more important than

riding and which things aren't, and then kind of prioritize that way and make sure that you have

time to, uh, to do it, to do it all. Otherwise you're just going to be miserable. Um, so

so that's what I do. And I have to restructure my schedule probably every three months. I look at it

and I say, okay, well, this isn't as relevant anymore. I can spend less time on this. I can

spend more time on this. Like I'm looking at it right now. And there's on Friday, there's about

two and a half hours of blank space. There's maybe a couple hours of blank space on Wednesday

but everything's packed in there and it's all things that are important to me. And even if I

follow it 50%, I'm getting a hundred times more done than I would without it. So I'd really

suggest that chat. I don't know if, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's, I'll show you, I'll show you

Now this is, this is a little over the top. This is a little psycho, but it's the only way I can

get this done with a job and, uh, and do everything else that I want. But, um, yeah, Chad, if you

anyway, Chad, look into this so then you can just, uh, get the things done that are important. Anyway

I can't share my screen here, so nevermind. I can only share it to Chrome, but, um, but yeah

work on that, Chad. I think that'll help you out a lot. Just schedule a set, a set time to ride

on certain days and make sure you go out and do that
