So... Not-so-hypothetical question:
To make my life fit into my about-to-be-radically-reduced available time, what should I give up:
- vast majority of friends and online contacts
- jewellery making
- writing
- website building
- Collators' Den archive admin position (BTW; if any of the co-admins are reading this: what's going on with that?)
- sf-community board admin position
- fictionbox.de article writing
- the couple of forums I'm still active on
- Knytt Stories level making
- reading and searching out new fic
- Greenpeace
- vid reccing
- LJ
- gaming
- reading and searching out new webcomics
To be precise: very few of these things I'm currently really doing on a regular basis; most I sort of... cycle through, with some things cycling to the top of the list as rarely as once a year or even more seldom. Still, it's obvious that if I've only been managing to do these things on even this tenuous a schedule at a time of extended unemployment,somemost of them are going to have to go when I start working full-time on Monday.
Problem is, I can't really imagine giving up even the least important of them. Neglecting it for a while, sure. I've only recently started reading webcomics again, after a pause of more than a year. My LJ backlog is of epic proportions. Nothing seems to have been happening on the Collators' Den front in weeks, and I've been too busy to find out why. I only check out fic in my fandoms once in a blue moon. Etc. But the idea of making a clean cut and kicking things I love out of my life permanently hurts so much I can't really imagine doing it.
But there is no other option, is there? At least not if I want to stay sane...

Try it now. The link still led to the place where the file would have been before I started reconstructing my website.
