One trick I particularly like is to set up a trigger in my house, for example a string across the bedroom door at waist height to practice rolls. Everytime I go in or out of the bedroom then (except when carrying stuff) I roll under the string.
On days when I'm going in and out a lot, I wind up getting a ton of repetitions without even noticing, and each one is done while fresh so you should have good form. Can get on the nerves of family though.

I have been struggling with getting into the academy I train at regularly as my job has me on the road a lot right now. I make do and when I can get there I focus on technique and train as intensely as I can. I also try and get in a session on the road at different schools.

Great article. A lot of people when low on time think to themselves, "oh, I shall leave training today" when in actucal fact, it is a great chance for them to train high intensity as you mention, and the chance should be taken.

This post mirrors my life - I always have too much going and not enough time. I learned to focus on what was important in college... 10 years ago I was working full time, throwing 2 paper routes (to make ends meet) and going to the local junior college full time. I only could do homework on weekends (as well as spend "quality" time with the family.
Well it all worked out better when I scheduled the highest point work for the most effort. I dropped everything else and found I still got a low A average in college. I did not ever read a chapter but rather read the reviews at the end of the chapters and then spot read anything I did not understand.

As far as current goals - the same thing... life gets in the way of the workouts but I do have time for heavy back drills and such.

Great topic - everyone needs to bone up on time management - bang for buck effort... as you say only 20% of what you do is related to your goals.
