try to find time to pray and plan ahead - if not you might have to join some of the prayers - especially if your at work.
Do you think the pious don't sin?
They merely:
Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
Took ownership of it and don't justify it
And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim
What´s the reason why it´s difficult to you? You don´t find time or remember to pray? Don´t you have enough enthusiasm for it or what´s the reason? Try to find the reason why not and solve the basic problem what prevents you to pray.
For example; make a daily schedule for praying. Check it many times of the day and it helps you to remember the times you have to be ready for praying. If reason why it´s hard to you is something else, try to think how to find ways to make it easier.
One time, a man great in age, physique, and rank said to me: “The prayers are fine, but to perform them every single day five times is excessive. Since they never end, it becomes wearying.”A long time after the man said these words, I listened to my soul and I heard it say exactly the same things. I looked at it and saw that with the ear of laziness, it was receiving the same lesson from Satan. Then I understood that those words were as though said in the name of all evil-commanding souls, or else they had been prompted. So I said: “Since my soul commands to evil, one who does not reform his own soul cannot reform others. In which case, I shall begin with my own soul.”I said: O soul! Listen to five ‘Warnings’ in response to those words which you uttered in compounded ignorance, on the couch of idleness, in the slumber of heedlessness.
