Actually, I wanna be like ScottGu and ScottHa and Phil Haack, and.... well you get the idea.

I have been thinking about things I want to accomplish in my career for awhile now. I have set out some goals for myself. Like Becky Isserman, I want to become an MVP. This is a bit longer road for me because, I have not been super active in the developer's community here. It's not that I don't want to, I just haven't figured out how. I haven't figured out how ScottGu and ScottHa and Phil manage to do it. Phil and ScottHa have kids. I just have a wife, but we are trying to get pregnant (or at least we're trying to get HER pregnant).

If it were up to me, I would spend all my time writing code, blogging, cruising the forums and going to geek meetings of all sorts, I love it, but finding that balance will be tricky. With the goals of becoming an MVP and getting an MCSD, and maybe even starting a master's degree this fall, I just don't know how I'd make time for everything.

I just want to know how they do it. How do they find time to blog about meaningful, helpful things and contribute to Open-Source projects and speak at .NUGs and still go to work and have a rewarding family life?

So to that end, I need suggestions. For those of you who are MVPs (especially those with wives & children), if you have any time management suggestions for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
