The trick to finding a good balance between family time and friends is planning ahead. It sounds ridiculous right? Who needs to plan their days and nights around everyone else, but in order to maintain some sanity planning is the key. The best way to do this is to look through the calendar to find events that you know happen yearly. For example family reunions, family vacations, weddings, or other types of celebrations. You may have a family that just has to get together every year on the Fourth of July. So plan your schedule around that. Then once you have blocked out all the yearly activities you can plan by the month. See what's on the calendar for the month and schedule parties with friends, family dinners, birthday parties, etc. accordingly. Of course there will sometimes be last minute things that aren't planned or that come up but you can work with them if you know the general plan for the month.
