Treat each workout like a non‑negotiable meeting—write it into your calendar with a 30‑minute time‑box, set an alarm, and lock it in. Do a quick pre‑prep: lay out clothes, set up the gym or home station, write the rep plan on a sticky note before you go to bed. Keep a simple log—date, sets, reps, weight, feel—on a sheet or app and review it every week to spot trends. If a deadline throws a curveball, move the session to the first thing in the morning or split it into a 10‑minute burst at lunch—consistency beats a perfect session. And always have a backup: a quick body‑weight routine if you can’t get to the gym. That’s the only way to stay razor‑sharp while juggling endless deadlines.

Quick 5‑minute circuit: 30 seconds of jumping jacks, 30 seconds of high knees, 30 seconds of butt kicks, 30 seconds of mountain climbers, 30 seconds of burpees. Then a 1‑minute dynamic stretch—leg swings, arm circles, hip circles. That ramps the heart rate fast and primes the joints for heavy lifts. Keep the tempo high, keep the rest short, and you’re ready for the weights.
