[QUOTE="kitsune9, post: 5434041, member: 18507"] Running campaigns and putting in the work and effort does take time; however, what it seems that you need is just to organize yourself and set aside your time for organization and prep, focus on that, and then put it away when you're done. For example, if you feel that you need two hours to prep for an eight hour game, then set a time for the week to deal with it for two hours with no interruptions and then put it away. I personally am able to devote a considerable amount of hours to preparing and running my Pathfinder game, but the other thing is that I don't watch any TV nor play any video games, great past times that would get me trouble if I did (because then I wouldn't have the time to devote to my game). The other aspect is to examine your efficiency on your prep and organization.
