Changes to my lifestyle: I eliminated having a typical social life. No going out for movies or dinner. No television or much time for reading. I quit a job where I spent (wasted) time commuting in a car. I gave up season tickets for sporting/cultural events. I go to bed most nights at 7pm and am up at 2am to start work. That gives me a good twelve hours a day to work, and up to three hours a day to train/do other stuff. I make lists of everything that needs to get done (daily/weekly/monthly) and plan my time accordingly. I know, sounds really boring, but I haven't felt better in my life. Oh, and I don't have kids and don't plan on having any.
Fortunately, my BF and most of my friends are triathletes and I can spend quality time with him/them on the bike or at the gym, instead of movies or at dinner. Weekdays I can get a 25-mile ride in easily. Often, that means training alone because it can get difficult making schedules with everyone else. Sunday mornings I plan for extended rides with my friends.
P.S. I'm not "super" I'm just organized.
