How do you guys have time for AC?

Since I have no friends I do pretty much all my studying and HW during break or wutever. I only have one activity (table tennis) and that takes up like 7h tops of my week. And since I have no life ATM I have so much time to play c:
 
It's called a portable system for a reason, I take it with me everywhere, so times I'm waiting in line, on a train, on the toilet, I pull it out, play it, boom, done for the day- now, originally took many, MANY times multitasking to get my 6 to 8 hours in. I'm soo glad New Leaf has gotten to the point I can play it in smaller 30 minute bursts- far easier!!
 
After playing for almost two years, I've done pretty much everything in the game and got my town to be just how I want it to be.

Every other day I get on for ten minutes max to check for rumors and see what's going on. I don't check shops or anything anymore.
 
It's pretty easy to find time to play when you've left school and the most work you can find is part-time...
 
between full enrollment in college and two jobs? procrastination. i don't have time for animal crossing. and yet here i am
 
I am a terrible student. That's how.

If I wasn't procrastinating with Animal Crossing I'd be playing the Sims. Anything but homework.
 
When I know I'm not going to have a lot of time to play, I play every day until a villager tells me they were thinking of moving. I tell them not to move, and then don't play for a long time. No villagers will move if you do this, I've noticed.
 
I'm in a sort of online school. I get to work on school at my own pace, so I have plenty of time to just relax if I need to.
It leads up to procrastination, but I feel good, and that's what's important to me. ^^;
 
I use it as a reward system for myself so I get my work done. For example, I'll finish a paper and grant myself half an hour of Animal Crossing, or I'll finish two papers and grant myself an hour, and so on and so forth.
 
I have absolutely no idea, if I'm honest! I am a working mum to two boys, with a 30 hour a week job, am a competition dancer and am studying a degree in Psychology on the side. Between parenting, studying, dancing, keeping a home and working, there is no reasonable way I should be able to fit *any* gaming in... but I somehow manage hours and hours per week!

I am trying to work out how I manage it... all I can say is that my husband is fantastically supportive! Except he bought ACNL today too, so I guess nothing is getting done around our house anymore! :/
 
I literally have no life. I go to a therapeutic school, so no worries with work, and I don't work, yet. So I pretty much have free time every day.
 
I usually play my Animal Crossing town after dinner, when I'm winding down before bed and that day's chores are done. I don't really have time to do a lot but I at least like to check on my villagers and do the dailies and maybe check out the shops if I have time. ^^ I can't always get on every day of course!

I simply make time to play the game. Once you get everything down, playing the game takes a few minutes at a time. It's efficient, especially since I have school.
 
I make time to play the game by eliminating other activities. It's a case of what I like to do most at that point for me.
 
I take my 2DS with me /everywhere/ and literally only take ACNL out if the system fails and I need to poke around and troubleshoot x)

If you're at school like I am & have no friends, recess/lunch breaks are good for a bit of play time - as are any bus/train trips you need to do that take more than say, 10 minutes o:
 
I play whenever I want to/can and then leave it for a while. When I come back to play again, I time travel back to the last day I played. That way, I can be sure nothing went wrong and I can also avoid ripping my hair and face off while taking care of chores on the game when I'd rather relax. :lemon:
It's also good to play when I can't sleep!
