Take inventory. If there are things on that list that you would rather not do, or would rather quilt than do, dump them. I always found time to quilt and sew, even when I had five kids at home and worked several jobs. I quilted early and late, while the potatoes boiled, until the oven dinged, while I waited for a load of clothes to dry, etc. etc. maybe only a few minutes at a time but I kept at it and it is amazing how much you can do. I called it steady by jerks quilting!
