Time Management

How does one manage time when there's very little of it?

He needs time with her. I need time with him. She and I need time together. AND we need time with all three of us.

She's very much a person who likes her alone time.
He's a person who needs his alone time.

We have 5 kids at home.

She has 7 cats.

Currently I work an hour out of town, doing overtime. She works at the same mill as he, only on his opposite tour (he works days on the days she works nights and vice versa)

She'd been on medical leave, so time with her wasn't an issue - there wasn't any conflicts about spending time together.

Now she's gone back to work - and she's a bit of a workaholic.

So my fear... my concern... is how is time supposed to be prioritized? Currently we're going with the "take it as it happens" approach.

Any suggestions?
 
Time management is a big deal to us as well. Hubby works nights. Wifey works days. Girlfriend (to both of us) works crazy hours, and about to work more because she needs money to pay bills, PLUS wants to go to grad school.

We have certain nights that belong to two of the three people in our triad. For example ... Monday nights are Hubby and Wifey only nights. Thursday nights are Hubby and Girlfriend nights. And Wifey and Girlfriend get Friday nights. And the weekends are all three of us.

It helps A LOT to have a pretty basic set schedule. And everyone get alone time.
