I don't have another paying job to juggle and am one of those fortunate ones that gets to paint full time. I do, however, have two little kids and the usual mom and house duties that go with that. As I've written in other threads, I made a choice two or three years ago: If it doesn't have to do with family or painting, I don't do it.
I read art books at the breakfast table, I think about composition when I'm at my kids soccer game and I notice the light on the principal's face at school events. To non-artists, I'm a very boring person. (And maybe I'm boring to most artists, too!)
And every day I feel as if I'm racing against the clock. Time for me to get off the computer and back to the easel....
