Re: Your number one priority
#2Tim Ferriss made some excellent observations and developed methods on how to optimise your time related to work and personal time. I ve tested several his hypothesis and they did have some impact on me.
I just bought the 4 hour body and I can see this same thinking of his this " 80 / 20 " Paretos Law. I think if you can read both these books , snythesis Body and Lifestyle using his principle based on the 80 / 20 you will see great changes.
Richard Branson is role model to many of us but he is very wealthy and as he mentions in the video that he has an Island that helps, Ferriss guide offers a perfect low cost alternative.

#3Agreed.
I've also written about exercise and its benefits (or really, the benefits of exploring other areas of life that one might enjoy outside of work): http://mschade.me/be-a-better-entrepreneur-be-a-little-selfi...

#5Agreed that is why I always walk to work and rarely bring my car.

#6Definitely agree, it's not just the health benefit of exercise but the attitude that comes with it. You become more energetic, proactive, etc. Such positive attitude will diffuse into the rest of your life!

#7This is one of the reasons our development team is located on Vancouver Island. We could have set up shop in the middle of Silicon Valley's startup culture, but instead, we set up shop in the middle of world-class mountain biking, hiking, surfing, rock climbing, and snowboarding. Collectively, our team gets no shortage of exercise!
Incidentally, outdoor activities provide a great environment for generating creative solutions. We do some of our best problem-solving out past the break, or on the uphill side of a downhill ride.

#8Exercising for 30 minutes every morning has certainly had a good impact on my life I think. And because I do it in the morning it means that no matter how poorly the day goes, at least I've managed to do something positive for myself.
Conversely, though, I am very very grumpy when I don't get to exercise in the morning for whatever unavoidable circumstance.

#9I currently work full time and do full time uni, so my time is stretched as far as it can go. I've sat down an analysed my productivity over the day and noted that from when I finish work at 5 or 6 until after I finish having dinner at around 8-8.30 I rarely get anything done, I try, but end up being distracted. So I decided to write that time off, and go do exercise to refresh myself for the late night stint.
I always used the excuse that if I'm going to be up really late tonight working, how can I justify half an hour of exercise, but once you sit down and be honest with yourself you'll realize that you waste many half-hours being distracted/on HN/Facebook etc, and those half-hours don't have the benefits that exercise does.

#10Concur.
Walk to work instead of driving if you can, walk somewhere a little farther away for lunch, whatever it takes.
Would that more of us spent even a fraction of the time we spend developing our minds on taking care of our bodies.
