Getting Jobs in Entertainment question 973: How do I juggle family life and the 3 things I do in the industry?

It all comes down to time management. Some would say it is not about how much time you spend with the ones you love, but the quality of the time you spend. You have to decide what works for you and your family time-wise, and then give time to each of your passions as they "call" to you.
