Chunks of time

I often fall into the trap when I put aside some time to do some exercise or a piece of work, and if the time gets eaten into, I don't start because I think it won't be worth it.

The classic example is my weekly interval session on the bike, which is 80 minutes in total; if I get to the point where I've only got 65 minutes, I don't do the session.

That's complete nonsense, isn't it? 

It's much better to do 35 minutes of exercise than no minutes of exercise, and it's much better to do the first four things on the list of things you have to do, leaving only eight than never to start the 12.

It's like the chunks of time he talks about in About a Boy. 

His life was divided into haircuts, coffee shops, or whatever stuff he did, and it was so regimented and beautiful that it never got interrupted.

He never found any joy until his life got interrupted, so imagining that we can section our life off into beautifully arranged quadrants to allow us to do things highly productively and always achieve great outcomes is a ludicrous concept.

Getting the best done with what you have in the available time is where winning gets done.
