It seems like I'm up doing *something* (puttering, my dad calls it) every 15 minutes, whatever my intentions. I guess you could try something similar? Just every half-hour, get up and do something for home or work for a few minutes, then more knitty-drinky for a half Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08399350164419034777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17351693.post-40476523876512067282008-05-16T11:45:00.000-04:002008-05-16T11:45:00.000-04:00Let me know when you get that one figured out.

My love-hate relationship with my job stems from the fact that I must have said job in order to afford yarn (and food), but 40-ish hours a week seriously cuts into knitting time. <BR/><BR/>I've compromised by doing housework on a monthly, rather than daily or weekly, basis.

Even more so after my current fiber/spindle jag. The result is not so much knitting and guilt over not spinnning as much as I need for knitting.

I get a lot of knitting done on my long commute to the office where I spend most of my time proscrastinating and feeling guilty for not doing enough worky-work.

I'm pretty strict with myself and don't usually let myself knit or spin during the daytime, which is D for Dissertating (and "um, well, it's on the computer" for surfing the net reading fiber blogs). I'll sometime take a 15-minute knit-or-spin break around lunch, though. This means in the evenings I don't feel guilty (Lazulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190270995311616124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17351693.post-26701919086970344352008-05-15T07:37:00.000-04:002008-05-15T07:37:00.000-04:00Alas, I have no advice, as I'm constantly trying t...Alas, I have no advice, as I'm constantly trying to find a balance myself.
