How diverse is too diverse?


When considering that one needs to have enough time todevite to all your projects and endeavors, how do you figure out how many is too many?

I’ve been living closely with the land and/or farming for over 10 years. But I still have a hard time trying to envision my workload, especially as we are looking to expand onto a new property that already has (new to us) products–namely beef and honey. Now i know honey won’t take much time on the daily. Beef cows might take 20 minutes checking daily, and I can fairly easily estimate time spent calving, hauling/doctoring/working, and extra time when doing rotational grazing, perhaps once a week.

But then…adding on everything else we already do or want to add…like mushrooms, a CSA and farmers market, chickens for eggs, and don’t forget taking care of our kids and ourselves! Which–kids load will change soon too as they are starting school next year and beyond.

So, any tricks to quantifying? Do i just need to write up a mock calendar month by month or week by week??
