Any secrets on managing your time?

[jeanna]

OK, I LOVE writing music. And I just recently got a deal that is ENCOURAGING me to write music. But I have this really pesky day job that is sucking up my time and energy! I consider myself an extremely organized person. I have found that my most productive writing times is between 7-9 in the morning so I drag myself out of bed (I work swing shift) and write for at least 2 hours (which has turned into at least 4 hours since the deal) in the mornings. Then when the weekend comes and my friends say "hey let's go have fun" I say "no thanks guys, I gotta write".So I've got my full time job and now this new full time (hopefully soon to be money making career) "job" and a social life that is barely in existence anymore. I'm exhausted. Granted it's a good exhausted but I just don't know how else to do this.I actually know that there is no answer to this question and I know that I am doing EVERYTHING I can to write as much as I can and until my day job can go away this is just what my life will be like. I guess I'm starting this thread to commiserate with others in my same situation. So who's with me?! Shout out to your music passion here!!
