I don't have time to do anything that I want to do anymore, not because of Jackson specifically, but everything. I do things, but I just don't have time to do the big things: write a novel, shoot indie films, anything physical or exercise-related. When I think about where I could find more time, you would think I could prioritize and drop something, but what?
1. Family
2. Friends
3. Church
4. School--teaching or learning
5. Work
(Notice I don't put God first, I'd like to think He is prominent throughout.)
Quite frankly, work is the only thing I would be willing to spend less time doing, as obvious as that sounds. I love my job. I can't imagine anything more fun or challenging, but c'mon, who wants to spend 8-5 everyday in the same place doing roughly the same thing.
Several people I know are dedicating their lives to part-time working. I don't know where they are going to live in a few years, or how they will afford children, but the overall philosophy of quality of life over income is pretty intriguing.
Ideal schedule, work 6 hours at the office 10 - 4, work a couple more from home with RealVNC or something, spend tons more time with Kerry and Jackson doing the fun things I enjoy.
Another guy I know is quitting UTC to take his family sailing for who knows how long. Now that's living. Maybe I should take my family somewhere far away..
