You don't.
There's no way you can do everything your heart desires and your life demands, so set your priorities, ax what needs to go and be okay with that. For example, last night I realized I had an IWSG post this morning, but I just didn't have time to write something brilliant and insightful. So what did I do?
I didn't.
(But thanks for stopping by anyway. ;) And thanks for hosting, Alex)

It's impossible to do everything, and it is important to find which things are more important than others. A great reminder for the new year.
That balance between RL and writing is never easy to find I swear it changes from day to day.
I laugh when my friends talk about 'ironing' and 'laundry' - in our house it just gets folded and left in the basket and eventually the kids find it... although I spotted one grey and one black/pink striped sock walking together out of the door today.
It's amazing just how scummy one can get when writing takes over. You are so right to say, FRET NOT, life is a compromise.
At least his feet were warm and dry...

YOU ARE SO RIGHT! You can't do it all, as I have found out tragically this year. When I began writing three years ago and did NOTHING else. Not time for friends, working out, television or even much reading.
Well as you know I BLEW Up... Gained tons of weight and felt like sheer hell.
I took my life back last spring and dropped a ton plus more and as you guessed my writing and BLOGGING has suffered... OH, NO! So now I am desperately trying to rearrange my schedule to fit in both. Today I worked out and I am blogging. Next reading a friend's short story to critique.... It's only 12:30 am... I still have time.... right?
Miss you sweetie.....
