How do others here get to do their work and good workouts at the same time? I usually train about 4000 yards a day but at the moment I have too much work where I need to concentrate. I often work until early in the morning. I work in animation so my work is always sitting down at my animation desk and computer.
I have to admit that I have a lot of work and if I'd do my swimming now I would get too tired at some point, so I took a break from swimming(and gained 10 lbs during this time:( )
I know I'll lose the weight as soon as I hit the pool again but also I will get less work done because I'll be drained.
How do others do it?

Make the swimming a priority, and you'll always find time to do it.
Don't get me wrong, I've always done that. I worked on numerous TV series and feature movies and always kept up my swimming 5 days a week. When I worked on a major feature movie once that lasted for a year I always went swimming after work around 9pm.
Now I'm working for an animation company(free-lance at home) and doing my own animated short films on the side which often has me working 12 hours a day, often until 4-5 in the morning.
To get that extra concentration I am purposely not going swimming because I know I won't be as crisp to do my work with the same concentration, if you know what I mean. It's kinda a catch-22 situation: if I work out I will be generally fitter but will always feel drained from the workout at some point of the day and less concentrated for my work, and if I don't work out, I gain weight, feel unfit, get back pain from too much sitting, feel sluggish but I have more concentration for my work.
I don't know if anyone can relate.
