   I would say that about 85 % of my music listening takes place in the kitchen when I am cooking or cleaning for my family.  It's frustrating because all I have in the kitchen is a lousy boombox (compared to my stereo setup in my home office).  In any case, I have music on all of the time.   My daughters love to dance and rock out.   Sometimes I listen to what the kids want to hear, but other times it's Genesis or Ligeti.

Also, you didn't mention TV, but if you have one, my suggestion is to unplug it.

	I just listen to music while doing everything I am a teenager as well, so I have a lot of free time...

	Well, let's see.... but with work - full time family - yep church - nope kids - i don't think so sports - just the treadmill movies - yep food - I think so sleep - only when necessary. My schedule is lighter than yours.....but I find LOTS of time for music. Of course I can listen at work, maybe you can't. But comparing notes, I think you just need to cut the kids and church....and you should be all set. Seriously, keep trying though.....absence makes the heart grow fonder, so every little window you get will be special.....treat it as sacred time. It is. Every moment that is normal, is special.
	...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell"

	Listen whenever you are sitting down and it wont be too obtrusive to not hear anyone; meaning sit around with headphones and jump at every chance you get.

	Cut the family, church, kids and sports out. And listen when you're at work if you can. :P But yeah, the reason I have the time is because I don't really spend time on a few of those things you mention.

	Hello....I am a long time prog lover. Just turned 50 so been around awhile. Just been hanging around...not much of a poster..just don't seem to have the time. How do you guys have the time to listen to all this music. Maybe I have too many other reponsibilities and/or interests. How do you take the time to listen to new music all the way through? I would love to figure out how to create that kind of time in my schedule, but with work, family, church, kids and sports, movies, food and sleep, I can't seem to get time to listen to much new stuff. How do you guys do it? Thanks....enjoy just listening to everyone for the most part. Sam
