    Hi,

    Being a webmaster and running your own business takes time and a lot of time in some cases when you are working to deadlines or setting new projects up.

    How do all you webmasters find time for your family?
    Do you have a daily ritual of "what are you still doing on that computer at this time?".

    I have spoken to many webmaster who run online businesses and hear this same thing over and over again.

    Let me know how you manage to fit everything in.

    ottodo - is it out of your control or is it like a drug where the first thing that you do in a morning is turn your PC on and the last thing you do before bed is turn it off?

    My wife thinks that I should leave work at our office and the laptop as well. But I would just not get through all the work if I did that.

    Is the extra cash worth time with your family?

    It is not an addiction, obsession or drug, it is just not having enough time in normal business hours.

    I dont believe im that addicted to my work either ... though i still dont have a partner .. :D

    anyway i still find time to go out w/ friends or family atleast once a week ... everyone also needs some way to relax and enjoy the social interaction not only thru work :)
