My practice ate my life

Last year, I got my practice to grow from 'hardly there' to a full-time salary earner. I also managed to distance myself from my family and to completely abandon any hobbies and fun.

My goal this year is to manage the same workload in less time and with less effort. I have been reading  time management books galore and trying to work out some systems and methods for spending less time in front of my computer. So far, my new year resolutions include:

- not looking at silly websites at my desk. I am still allowed to have fun on the internet, but have to use iPad to do it
- writing reports within the week I finish seeing the client (probably the best time saver, but oh-so-hard to actually do!)
- and getting my paperwork better organised.

I think I need more than that.

Do you have any systems, methods or tricks of keeping your private practice from taking over your life?
