How I find time to write

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is how I find time to write with my three kids and church stuff I usually have going on. Sometimes I stay up really late, get a babysitter for a few hours, convince my husband to play Mr. Mom on the weekends, but those things don't happen very often. Instead, I have to find little chunks of time throughout my week, which means giving up something else that used to fill that time.
A few things I've had to give up so I have time to write...
Television.* Folding Laundry. Really, why does it need to be folded, if we are just going to wear it within a couple of days anyway?Scrapbooking. Thank goodness for digital albums, or else my kids pics would still be on a roll of film in a box somewhere, I'm sure.Most of my hobbies. I have been working on an afghan for two years, I have two quilt tops done that need batting and backing and tying, and a Welcome Bear I've been painting outfits to go with each month—still have a few outfits left to paint. I work on a little bit every time I get a chance, but at this rate, it's going to be another couple of years before I'm finished with any of them.**Exercising at the gym. I go for a walk every morning to get out of the house and see my friends/walking buddies, but I've given up going to the gym I'm already paying for with my HOA fees. The only time I could get down there without kids is in the evening and that is prime writing time.Naps.  *Except for Bachelor/ette because everyone needs some veg time in the week**Since I only work on these things while I'm watching Bachelor/ette--heaven forbid I just sit and relax. :)

The next question... Is it worth it? YES!

Are there things you've had to give up in order to find time to write?
