Where do you get time to do it all?
This past weekend I thought, whilst having a coffee with a buddy, where do we get time to do it all?
I take myself as an example. Here are all the things or hobbies that I am involved in:
Two weekends a month I am on stand by. I can therefor not go 4x4'ing or camping. I can't play golf, I can't go shooting. I can however go cycling early morning.
The other two weekends I like to spend time with my 3 year old where I can. She loves camping and we try and do that as much as we can. Family time is very important. I can go cycling early morning because I take my bike with. I can go 4x4'ing if there is a trail at the campsite. I can't play golf and I can't go to shoot.
Somewhere in between I have to make time for shooting and golfing. Both hobbies takes up a whole day
So, how do you make time for all your hobbies? Do you get to a point where you have to decide something has to go?

Some golfers should not take guns to the golf course with them. I think Mike is one of those golfers.

Play some golf and shoot your opponent's ball. 2 hobbies in 1

Have fewer hobbies
Camping and 4x4ing should be a way of life, not a hobbie

El hoor heelpad van die golf en driving ding. Nie n groot fan van vw platkarre, so ek het nog nie die sin gesien om elke saterdag vir heel dag lank n shity golf te ry nie. Seker as ek eendag oud is. Maar ek dink n honda is n beter ou mens kar as n golfie.

Well we enjoy the following camping, 4x4'ing, game drives and seeing the country, so more a way of life.
We are set up to pack and leave in less than 3 hours, including buying provisions. I have joined various trips, gone to places where they advised availability, within just a few hours.

Had to give up golf, wing shooting and classic car club and battle to find time to play in the mud or go for a ride on the bike. We travel a lot and so only get home on some Saturdays and sometimes leave on a Sunday. And to top it all we need to work some weekends.

Yip
Most weekends I work. When I don’t work we like to go camping.
Already 2019 is almost fully booked.

Tough one, we try get outdoors as often as possible because of our toddler.
Managed 1 camping trip and 2 day trips in January. For next 2 months we're probably a bit buckled with "life" new house and all the logistics that follow.
I work 6 days a week usually so it does get a bit rough. Ultimately I find the time because thats what my wife likes, happy spouse happy house.
