Time management (or the art of doing it all… and staying sane 😄)

Anyone else here balancing personal training, teaching freediving, and a separate unrelated-to-the-water full-time job? 😄

Some days I leave a session wishing I could just go home, rest, and stay in that post-dive state a little longer… but instead it’s coffee time and back online to my UN work as a Project Cycle Specialist.

At the same time, I appreciate the art and rhythm of moving between different "worlds". It doesn’t always feel perfectly balanced, but there’s something quietly rewarding in making it all fit.

Some days flow, some days require a bit more intention, and I’m curious on how others navigate it: – Do you structure your days or move more intuitively? – How do you protect your energy and recovery? – What helps you stay consistent without burning out?

Would love to hear how you’re all making it work 🤍🐬

Same situation here! What makes it even more challenging is that all my work is consultancy/client based which means that I’m always pitching and can’t just slip back into some form of structure… and then some of my freediving students and peers are actually also my clients 🫣 some days it works just perfectly, gives me the freedom I want and I wouldn’t want to change a thing. Some days it feels just a little bit too chaotic. On those days I’m trying to think back to the other days, being grateful what this set-up allows me in general and enjoy that coffee before putting my head down and dig in!

But yes, totally, when it’s all getting too busy my own relaxation and training suffers a lot. That’s ok…as long as I take notice and am aware of it.
