Please, put the toilet seat down! Stop making bullshit excuses and just do what needs to be done.
I saw a video of a husband saying why it’s more efficient to leave the toilet seat up. “It saves time and effort for both of us” he says. Shut up, dude. Put the damn seat down. It’s really not difficult.
While this video may have been a joke, I know there are guys out there who agree and think this way. I also know that there are people who follow this exact thought process for their own self-improvement. The cycle of needing to improve, making excuses, then not improving has to stop.
No excuse should stop you from doing something today and every day from this point forward – minus major catastrophes that render you incapable. If you know you need to improve, then the weather, your emotions, your schedule, and any excuse cannot prevent consistent progress.
If you’re too tired to do a full workout, do some pushups and squats at home. It’s raining? Do a HIIT routine inside. You don’t want to cook? Don’t head to McDonalds, find something healthier. No time to read? Then why are you on your phone?
It’s not that we don’t have the time, it’s more often that we’re not making the time. I firmly believe there is always enough energy in you to do something today, but we often think doing the bare minimum isn’t enough to be worth it at all. But it is. So if not one thing, do something else. If you know this happens frequently, then prepare for it.
Audit your time, meal prep, schedule the important things, have workouts ready no matter the weather… just stay consistent.
Stop making excuses and start putting the damn toilet seat down.
