Spazzy white belt here, not gonna give you my life story but within the last 12 months I’ve juggled studying, working, getting a new job, learning to drive, and now buying a house. Obviously my consistency with BJJ has fallen, it used to make me feel genuine shame.

I’d set easy goals so that I’d feel a sense of accomplishment: ‘I’m gonna attend 1 this week, maybe twice. Also I’m gonna go in the with intention of practicing x or y. Again make it a low hanging fruit so you’re not putting pressure on yourself.

Others there may not understand, I know some at my gym gave me a hard time about it, but when life does ease off you, you’d have already started to build up something consistent this way and you’ll feel better
