How do you balance creative work with other responsibilities?

Originally asked

The Creative Independent, to working artists, its interview series

The Creative Independent repeatedly asks working artists how they divide time between creative practice and administrative, family, or second-job obligations.

You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.

It's hard - truthfully the main thing other than work is just making sure that I'm spending enough time with michelle and the girls. The big advantage I have is that I live above the store - so I have no commute! So we make sure that when I'm in DC I never miss dinner with them at 6:30 pm - even if I have to go back down to the Oval for work later in the evening. I do work out every morning as well, and try to get a basketball or golf game in on the weekends just to get out of the bubble.
