You don't actually have that much 'scheduled' time where you have to be somewhere. So I can happily bugger around most of the day and work in the small hours of the morning etc. But I have lots of scheduled time now so it is more like a proper job than I have ever had before. That is probably why I am finding it so hard.

>A.K....the world seems to want to put us in these 'conventional' jobs, the 9-5, etc. But like Maslow said, you have to deeply enjoy what you are doing to become a "whole" human being, his "self-actualization" concept. To reach that, that's where the struggle is. Keep that in mind...in fact don't ever forget it..:-)
Best,
