@phoenix, I know exactly what you mean, and I know people of my age who have still less time than I do – and I still fail at matching their productivity (though the past week has been an abnormally sustained break from that discouraging pattern).
Furthermore, for me as a man – I’ve often felt guilty about wanting to pursue my writing more intensively because of the expectation / need to mature into a breadwinner and a provider for an as-of-yet-purely-hypothetical spouse and children. Even now – today in particular – I’m feeling the strain of guilt, knowing that I’ve spent my whole day hyper-focused into my writing to the detriment of time I likely should have invested in studying for my obstetrics exam next week (I’m in nursing school).
