I have a special guest post from my friend Jan Ferrante. Jan is known as the “Queen of Kaos” (I love that name) and she offers some awesome tips and advice for work-at-home-moms and dads looking to increase their productivity and improve their time management.

Jan has put together a great post for you today that I am sure you will enjoy. After all, one of the main benefits and purposes of quick home office workouts is to boost your productivity and improve your time management. I’ll be sharing a lot more advice with you about how you can get more done in less time so you can do the things that you enjoy most in life. Now onto Jan’s post…

Making Time For Exercise For Homepreneurs

Making time for exercise when you work at home can seem like a real challenge, but the biggest challenge starts in your mind.

It’s so easy to bump yourself to the back of the list and next thing you know, whoops!, the day is gone.

WHAT TO DO?

That part is easy.

Make it what I like to call a non negotiable.

A non negotiable is just what it sounds like, something solid, that leaves no wiggle room for negotiation.

You won’t be telling yourself I’ll do it tomorrow… today doesn’t count… I can skip this time (and the next time and the next) or anything like that.

Because it simply will not be an option for you anymore.

It won’t even be on your radar.

HOW TO GET THERE?

In the end, it is always a matter of simply deciding to make putting aside the time you need for exercising a non negotiable, but you may need to have a look at WHY you want to exercise every day to get there.

Here are a few thoughts to get you started. Dig deeper to find some more, or to find your ‘one thing’ that will keep you going should you be tempted to ‘open negotiations’.

If…

You are disappointed every time you look in the mirror, knowing that if you just got on track with your exercises that you would look great.

You are uncomfortable in your clothes but refuse to go a size bigger – there’s a non negotiable, right there.

You feel unhealthy, winded after a short excursion. You want freedom to breathe again, to feel good – and then to feel great!

You’ve lost your glow and you want it back.

You want to live a long, full life in health, not in sickness.

You want to feel strong and alive, rather than weak and decaying with every year.

You realize that you need to make yourself and your health a priority in your life. You realize that it’s up to you, and no one else. You’re in charge.

WHAT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO

It all comes down to two words.

Non-negotiable.

If you can remember those words, any time you are tempted to let something else elbow out your exercise time you will remember that it’s not an option, because you’ve made an agreement with yourself. Period.

You will find yourself saying “Let’s get to it now“, instead of “No, I can do it another time“… a time which never comes.

Next thing you know, you will find that you are making time to exercise during your work at home day.

Day after day.

WANNA KNOW A SECRET?

Non negotiables work in every area of time management and productivity. If you want to do something, first you need to identify why, decide what to do, and then you need to make it a non negotiable and start saying yes.

So, how did you enjoy the guest post from Jan Ferrante? Let us know your thoughts and opinions. I for one absolutely love the idea of making fitness a non-negotiable. It’s a great way to prove to yourself that fitness and health is a priority in your life. It is a top priority for you right? Of course it is, because you realize how much it will increase your productivity and improve your business and quality of life.

You ROCK! Enjoy the experience,
