The first point is how your level compares with the level of problems you are trying to solve. The second point is how much moral constraints you have. You have a lot, so that consumes a lot of time. The third point is how much time you have. At this moment I'm lucky to have a lot of time. So I'm trying to make the most of it for the time being. When I wake up the first thing is to put on the computer and solve some problems. When I come home, solve some problems. After dinner, solve some problems. Even after I come back after the chessclub I solve problems for two hours before I go to sleep. Of course there will come times I'm busier but now I take my chance. I skip anniversaries, doing the garden and other timeconsuming nonsense. It's only a matter of priorities.
You have to know what is really important in life: to play a good game of chess!:)
 

I think the only way I'm getting it done is that I've gone completely insane.
 

PMD,
I implicitly assumed that as a pre-condition for the program.
