Yea, time management and where to put your energy is a challenge.Making time for music and making it a high priority is the trick. I play at least 5 jobs a week on guitar, keyboards upright and electric bass. The biggest physical challenge is bass. You've got to keep your chops up, particularly if you do a lot of up-tempo soloing. Guitar, for me is less physically challenging.

I make time for music by giving up a lot of things othes participate in. I don't cut grass or do any home maintenance....play extra jobs and pay people who are better than me at it. I don't watch sports. All available extra time is spent playing and practicing.

Dave is right. Proficiency on one instrument helps with others.

The trick is to keep on doing it.
