Time management tips?

2a. Time management tips?

Hi all...

So now that I've dispatched that pesky two-year royal drought, I'm finding
myself facing a more pressing issue: time management.

I find that between my 50+ hour work week, my personal life, my writing and
all the other minutia and administrata of life, there are just never enough
hours in the day to devote enough time to gambling to get the results I want
from it, and also to properly maintain and manage all the other aspects of
my life.

Not to mention, my XBOX 360 is so lonesome I think it's started spooning
with the TiVo for warmth.

I've already cut back on the number of casinos I frequent and started using
Google Calendar to organize my offers (highly recommended BTW), but I'm
still finding myself stressed and overextended. I don't have the bankroll
to move up to a higher denomination in order to compress my action, but I
like the results I'm getting from putting in the level of effort that I have
been lately.

Do any of you have any helpful tips or advice on how to balance work, life
and video poker more efficiently? I'd greatly appreciate.

While people may tell you how THEY have prioritized the hours available in THEIR lives, this will not help you do so -- it is entirely a personal decision. You clearly are well-organized, and can define the pro's and con's of the various demands on your time, and decide which are most important, and which therefore deserve your time, and how much of it.

The only possible suggestion is to look for opportunities to combine business and pleasure, if that is an option for you. I often add a day or two before or after a business trip to make a trip to an area casino if there is one with playable games. Likewise, I can sometimes mamage a diversion to a casino during a family vacation without too much time away from the family and without too much guilt.

These combination trips allow me to avoid the need for travel to a gaming destination, that part of the time necessary having been already "spent", in full or in part, on the business or vacation travel.
