WRT your 'Reflection' section...

My experience has been that loading your schedule to maximize the available time leaves minimal to zero time to be spontaneous. I believe spontaneity is a critical factor when raising children and the overall health of the entire family. In my experience, leaving room for spontaneity also improved my marriage and increased my opportunities to enhance friendships, strengthen fellowship, and improve family bonds.

"Quality time" typically occurs when you provide the necessary "quantity" of time that allows others to become comfortable to open up to you or others. And of course, 'scheduling' quality time seldom achieves the outcome you desire or maximizes the memorable and impactful golden nugget moments needed for deep lasting family development.

Just me two-cents.
