one scandalous suggestion: get off the internet, including cycling forums! <gasp!> if time is at a premium, tapping away in front of the computer can be as bad as TV. restrict your web surfing for when you're at work.

but like you said shokhead, you're ok with your time allotment, just wondering how other people do more. some people have more time, simple as that. family puts demands on one's time, but also gives rewards one can't get from cycling. and vice versa.

my wife recently got a new job, where she's working full time and getting up extra early. our nine month old son needs prep each morning for daycare, and i'm the one responsible for getting him ready. i wasn't real thrilled with that, until i realized one thing...i've now got an hour and a half after they leave in the morning to do nothing. or, i can go cycling! and when winter comes, and it's dark in the evening, i'd be forced to ride in the morning anyway. so while i'm getting up at an ungawdly hour, i'm making the best of it.
