That means that sometimes I don't feel like writing when I really should. I think that if you do end up forcing yourself to get with it and write when you don't want to, that constitutes a job in a sense. It is “work” as far as I get paid to do it.

I have a question - is your blogging considered "work" or is it a hobby? If it is the latter, it sounds like the balance isn't around work/life; it's about "personal time/family time" balance. Years ago in Silicon Valley, we spent 10 hours on the job and 4 hours after hours at the local watering hole. We also worked most weekends. Our companies prospered and our careers did too, but our homelife suffered. The moral of this story is - you get what you focus on. It sounds like you have a reasonable plan.

I look forward to balancing it all! I'm working on cutting back on the time I spend on the computer but it seems everywhere I go... there is a computer staring at me. :) Ahh.

I don't recommend actually smoking though! Just act like a smoker and take a “smoke break” through out the day. I don’t recommend actually smoking though!

When your wife wants you to be with her, you should enjoy her presence, even when it is your "blog time slot". And having fun and to have some surprise is also very important.

I think should just call it balancing life :) Sounds alot like my life…though my personal life somewhat integrates with my work life, sometimes it’s hard to know where the line is drawn, or perhaps if there is a line?
