I'm in awe of part timers. Well, I'm sort've a part timer too in that my main occupation is something else, but I spend a lot of time working online. It's difficult to juggle family, friends, work and online work, plus see to your own creature needs, such as adequate sleep and exercise. I think part timers have to be very disciplined people in order to accomplish anything. I'm disciplined in some ways, but easily distracted. Do you have any energy left over after an 8 to 5 job?

Hi Jon, I would say that I am a part-timer, but I would not say that I "divvy" up my time ...its more like "grabbing" spare time as I can. Which means becoming more focused more quickly is important, something that I have become better at!

The schedule of a stay at home dad with an 18 month old goes something like this : 6.30 baby wakes... wants to play...7am wife goes to work... 7.30-8.30 feed the little one and self....8.30-9 maybe get a shower if she sits still long enough to get her in her highchair! 9-10 am...playtime in the living area...if she occupies herself with toys and books I get to read my emails and maybe write an article/post/page for one of my sites, 10-11.30am go for a walk to the park or shop for groceries. 11.30 -12.30...return home, more playtime (see above)...12.30 -1pm hopefully little one tired, a bottle and off for afternoon nap. I get to "unwind" while she is asleep by doing laundry, tidying up and having lunch. 2-3pm is the most likely time i get things done, as she usually wakes between 3-3.30pm and then the wife and 13yo stepdaughter get home between 3.30-4pm...then its time to "catch up" on the days happenings, have dinner, clean up etc... i usually catch an hour or 2 then in the evening to work on IM stuff, before putting baby to bed , followed by "quality" time with the wife! by then I'm toasted....lol And yes, weekends and school holidays are a real crapshoot in this household to! to much info for you there??? lol o I forgot the housework...vacuuming, yard etc...but hey, thats for my "spare time"
