I know why I am here and why I am doing this but what I still have trouble defining is how to prioritize my private time. Another thread describes my situation beautifully and so I will link to it instead.

If it is not clear, I finally got my copy of Erin's book and so far it seems inspiring.
So, how is the prioritization going? I can really relate to the people in that thread with too many hobbies. I'm attempting to write a novel, write poetry, sew clothing, play music, sing, write songs, learn a language...among other things. It's very overwhelming!
I find that it helps to combine tasks. I'll try to cook a new dish after cleaning the kitchen, or read a book in another language, or work on a hobbyist project that also helps me at work.
Of course, there are others who subscribe to the Pareto principle. Instead of wasting 80% of your time on tasks that don't really matter, try concentrating on just one or two important things each day and let the rest slide. I think this is a really good idea since it creates a positive cycle of reinforcement and achievement.
