Time

Lately I've been thinking a lot about time.

Not how quickly it passes or anything.

But finding time in the day or making space for things.

What boggles my mind is how other people find time to do everything.

How do you ...
work full time
raise a family
make healthy, delicious meals
exercise and take care of yourself
write a blog
apply to graduate school
go to graduate school
find a job
plan a wedding
have a hobby
read books
read the paper
check your social media accounts
watch TV
spend time with your significant other
see friends
and relax!

Okay, so I've commented before that I think there are a few things we could do currently that would free up some time. Like, not having a 45 minute commute one way. Or having a dishwasher. Right there, if my commute were say, 15 minutes one way, I'd have approximately 1.5 hours longer every night to do things. Wow. That amazes me.

But, that is not going to change for us within the next year. So what other options do I have? I don't feel like I spend all that much time watching TV. Rob and I probably watch one show a night usually while we eat. Is the trick to eat at the table and get up and keep doing stuff after you eat for 20 minutes? That's not very appealing.

I am seriously in awe of people who go back to school and still work full time. I literally don't know how they do it. (I'm also impressed with their ability to decide what to go to school for. I keep waffling about what I may do in the future).

What am I missing? How do you do it?

Are you doing it all? Do you have any tips to share?
