OK here's something I have been thinking about lately, and I was wondering if others feel the same way, and if they do, what they do about it.

In the past few years, I have been finding that as my responsibilities (first in school, now at work) built up, I have had less and less time for my personal hobbies. This, of course, is obvious; more time working = less time playing. However, this problem has escalated to the point where I feel that I have far too little time for my hobbies. At first, I thought perhaps I was simply a whiner, complaining about problems that everyone has. More and more, though, I am beginning to think that it is a very real problem, and that I do have less time than other people for some reason. I know that this sort of thinking is irrational, though. There are twenty-four hours each day and seven days each week no matter who you are. My question, then, is this: For those of you who are working full time, or who have equivalent commitments that keep you out of the home for at least forty hours a week, how much do you squeeze into a week, and how do you do it? Do you often feel as I do, that you get all the necessities done, but little more?

That is all for now.
