How do you divide your gaming time?

I've run into this problem so much. Me having a family and all, I don't get to sick down and play as many games and as long as I would like.

I usually try to jump on to my PC or Console, depending what mood I'm in, when my family has settled down for the night. Usually I don't get into RPG/Adventure/Platform very much, because I don't have the time to do it. I guess that is why I'm such a big FPS kind of guy.

It took me months to complete Zelda:OoT, because every time I sat down to play, attention was needed else where. But I finished Zelda:WW in a week (I was deployed at the time and I had hours between down time). That is way I'm really reluctant to get WoW. Spending a monthly fee to play that just a couple hours a month, just doesn't justice the purchase. And for the same reason, that is why I'm looking into buying Guild Wars. Was a fan of Diablo II, this doesn't have an monthly fee… If I play a couple times a month (no my character won't be amazing), but I will get my RPG fill. Which I need as a gamer once in a while.

With FPS, I pop in the game. Play around for a little bit, and it's easy to just jump off when ever I need too.

I really don't have it down to a science when and how long I play. It's all just spur of the moment kind of thing. If I get some time, BF:1942 here I come. If the family is away for the day (visiting in-laws), something like Second Sight will be played. If I know I only have an hour on the system, Madden gets thrown into the system. This way I know that I will get at least the feeling of a completion of a game. Games may vary, but that system is how I play.

There are times when I get hardly any playing time at all. Like yesterday, I went to put in Halo2, and I only got in like 3 games and had to quit.
