Well, I try to only give up my time- not the time I promised to other things. I feel pretty strongly that as a homeschool mother of 4 children - I have a commitment to my husband and children first. My time was when I was 20....since I'm not 20, I do what I can in a way that is not too terribly disruptive. So, I still have work time- still have family time- still have house cleaning time - yard work time. My study time is cut from MY time. (translation- I don't really sleep any more ) Sometimes I have to do a paper, or study for a test, etc but I am pretty conscious of how it impacts everyone around me. For example, I would never go out for a cup of coffee with a girlfriend if I gave up playing with my kids this weekend to study.
All in all, you just have to arrive at a balance! Don't make the workload fit your lifestyle, only take on the workload that your lifestyle allows.
