hello @ericvancewalton,
being able to count on the experience of others is one of the wonders of blockchain, we all need help and experience, on the other hand schedules shape the work, you are absolutely right that you have to structure your day to be more productive, finally from my point of view the best thing about having free time is that you can choose where to spend it.

publicity note:
I'm promoting That curation trail on HIVE and it would help me a lot if you forward it, You can also check it yourself: you might find it interesting to join, I'd love to hear your comments.
