How Can Men Always Have Enough Time for Pleasures?

Time, money, and energy are our most valuable resources. I have written how men can always have enough money for their pleasures. So doesn't it make sense to enrich the subject by writing about how men can always have enough time for their pleasures?

Time = the most frequent objection to pleasures

Time flies fast. And we all want to squeeze as much as possible into the limited time we have on this planet. 50% of men's approach to including pleasures in their busy lives is opportunistic. And 50% very consciously schedule pleasures. Planning always works where opportunity does not. We make time for what we want to make time for. Hence isn't it ironic that not having enough time for pleasures is men's number one objection? Pleasure is as important as is work, food, health. Pleasure is a component of health. Men who don't see this fact therefore don't see it at their peril.

And I wrote this article exactly for those men. They'll typically say "I'll let you know", "I'll see what I can do", or "I'll try" to schedule pleasures into my life. But this strategy clearly doesn't and will never work. Why continue doing more of what doesn't work? Years will pass and you will deprive yourselves of good times in life. On the other side of the continuum there's the argument that no matter how busy we are, we always find time for what we want. So this points to the fact that the solution is in changing your strategy. From my experience as a men's coach and companion for many years...  

the best strategy is to:

1. pick a time far ahead on the calendar where there isn't anything else around it yet
2. commit to it and treat it as booked solid no matter what comes up near it
3. think of it the same way as you'd think of a doctor's appointment
4. look forward to it! That will motivate you to do what I wrote in point 2. 

The benefits of this strategy are that:

1. Both of us will have time and no excuses to prepare for it 
2. Both of us will have something and someone to look forward to
3. Treats and good times on the horizon certainly give us motivation to work, be good, and do well
4. Pleasures remind us that life is beautiful and give us energy to enjoy living and being alive. 

So are you willing to try this strategy? If you find it successful, you can apply it to other aspects of life and offer it to colleagues and also your near and dear who always have issues with timekeeping. Or are you one of the men who always make enough time for their pleasures?
