Do you find time to pursue your interests and hobbies?

With two little girls to tend to, 24 hours a day are not enough for me to do things that interest me anymore. I just try to sneak in a few hours to check on mylot whenever my two little ones are in school.

For me, working and maintaining my house takes up a ton of time. I have one of those jobs that doesn't just end when you go home for the day, and often have to continue with my work from home. I also value time with my boyfriend, friends and family, but that means I tend to spend my spare time doing things with them rather than pursuing hobbies. Writing is my most cherished hobby, and I actually get cranky if I don't allow myself time to do it. My boyfriend has to leave for work two hours earlier than I do in the morning, so when he leaves I take my coffee and retreat to the computer room for solitary writing time. This means getting up a lot earlier than I would have to, but it is well worth it. My brain is fresh and uncluttered and I can focus on my writing. If I had more time, I would love to spend it hiking and painting.

It is very difficult for me to find time to pursue my hobbies but in the evening,when my daughter sleeps I surf on internet..it is my hobby

When my children were growing up I never had much time to pursue my own hobbies and interests. Now that they have move out, I spend most of the day doing all the things that I like to do. Most of my time is spent practising my music. I have already learned to play the piano and I am now learning to play the vioilin and the guitar. Next year I am hoping to learn how to play the clarinet.

i understand what you mean. i love to read and sketch. but by the end of the day i feel so exhausted that i can hardly wait to hit the bed.

when i was still working, i did find it very demanding, but still, every week ends, i still find time to pursue the interests and hobbies that i've been planning to do a week long. i always pursue to do it because i think that i need a break after a very long and tiring weekdays. that's why, i try to manage and balance my time back then.

I dont have as much time as I'd like for my hobbies but I'm working on MAKING more time for them simply because i do enjoy them so much and its a great way for me to relax...
