No Time But Right Now
Everyone who trains here has made the conscious choice to commit themselves to a task--to learn a set of skills. The motivation for making this choice is of no consequence; the important thing is that you've made the choice.
What is relevant to this topic is how you choose to make use of the time dedicated to your commitment.
The average student will train 3 days per week for 1 hour each day. Over the course of the year that amounts to about 150 hours of training. Suppose we convert that into a typical 8-hour work day? That would translate into about 3.5 weeks. Imagine, you spend only 3.5 weeks out of a year on the training floor. That is about how much vacation time I get each year.
Compare this to how much time you spend at work, or at school. By contrast we spend about 2000 hours a year at our jobs or at school. That means for every 1 hour we spend training, we spend about 267 hours at work/school.
Suddenly it seems like we hardly train at all now, doesn't it?
The time you spend on the floor is precious. The moment you step inside the building, you should forget about anything else that goes on outside. Dedicate yourself for that 60 minute period to focus on absolutely nothing but the task at hand. Not only that, but dedicate yourself to applying 100% of your effort for each of those 60 minutes you are on the floor.
