Reclaim hours in your day through strategic planning and prioritization. The 8-hour workday culture, driven by corporate interests, keeps people in a state of dissatisfaction that fuels consumerism. Negotiate your time, prioritize self-care and your health!

Being fit and focused creates margin in your life. Everyone gets sick, or worse, at some point, which is exactly why it's critical to be proactive with your health and build up as much health margin as possible. Train every day like your life depends on it because it does.

I ran 6 miles in 100-degree heat today. Not because I wanted to ... it was just part of "the plan", my marathon training plan. My encouragement to you is to create your own life plans and be prepared for hard days, life's challenges, and setbacks along the way.

Many people start out with the best of intentions and get lost along the way of life because they don't have a life plan. Once you have lifetime goals, break them down into yearly and quarterly goals.

It's your life! Prioritize activities that yield the highest returns both in the short term and long and remain proactive and agressive in pursuing your life plans.
