    Greater life demands for a limited time frame, sure.

    Long term life demands become overwhelming when they are comstant and for long periods of time.

      Yeah, my experience is that if I have too much free time, I somehow don’t get anything done. I’m much more productive and happy if I have a busy, but manageable to do list. Short periods of “too much” to do are also okay, especially when they have a clear end in sight, but they must be balanced out by a break of some sort.
