It was easier working out when I was 25-30. Now I have to think harder: about good recovery, about possible injuries, about how close to my "failure" do I wanna train. And I'm still not used to it.

Current coach plan has me in the gym for 4 days a week. But this week I will need to be 6 days: because I have a friend that would not step in the gym if I don't go (and I cannot train the plan with him) and I have a group gym session to sort of distract another friend, so he wouldn't be suspecting a surprise birthday party. I also want to do at least 2 running sessions this week. I also have VR training that I miss to do. And what about doing some BJJ? Like.... when? I'm already feeling stretched thin as it is. And I'm not even sure if I'm regenerating enough. If I was 25-30, this would not be a problem, but as I'm slowly touching 40, I feel like this is more than enough.

Let's combine this with extra work these days because of changes in project. And let's combine this with the fact that I want to be social and that usually drains my social batteries as it is. And I'm not even saying anything about gaming.

On the other hand, these are generally first world problems, so I guess I can be pretty glad. I manage to progress in my life areas, I get to experience more and more, I got some great (and not so great) matches in BJJ and in here. So overall I'm pretty lucky guy. But maybe I should start saying "NO" more.
