Waste No More Time
We act as though we have infinite time to get our act together, treating training and consistency like optional hobbies we can pick up next week.
Waste No More Time
It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous estimate has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested.
— Seneca, On the Brevity of Life 1.3
We act as though we have infinite time to get our act together, treating training and consistency like optional hobbies we can pick up next week. Seneca reminds us that the scarcity of time is an illusion of our own making. We spend hours scrolling, hesitating, and making excuses before we even step foot on the gym floor.
Time doesn't bleed away by accident; we give it up willingly to distraction. When you show up to Alpine today, treat every minute inside the gym as sacred. Stop pacing between sets and get to work.
Today's challenge: Eliminate all scrolling between your working sets today and use that time to actually focus on your breathing and setup.
Workout of the Day
WOD coming soon — check the whiteboard at the gym this morning, or grab the day's class plan from your coach.
