Comment on Ask HN: How do you manage long hours vs. spending time with loved ones?

Comments

There aren't enough hours in the week for all that.

- one partner has a startup

- the other has a full time job

- and goes to school

- apparently you also have a kid

- and you want to go on dates

- and you want to do stuff with a group of friends on the weekend

I seriously doubt that the choice of calendar software is going to make a difference here.

At some point you are going to have to set priorities. I'm not saying you should work less, because you seem to love it. But maybe just accept the fact that you're going to meet your group of friends only once or twice a year, or that date night is going to happen less often.

I meet some of my best friends only once or twice a year now. It's not what I imagined, but when everyone has a job and family and doesn't live in the same place anymore.... I don't think changing to a different calendar app could fix that.
