Free will, and all that, tempered by responsibilities. I choose to do genealogy research and writing, and contribute to the discipline. If it was boring or drudgery, I wouldn't do it.<br /><br />I know that it can all end, or be severely curtailed, in a moment of time - I'm 76 (overweight, diabetic, love ice cream), and Linda is 77 with Alzheimers and a fall risk (on a walker and wheelchair now). So I do what I have to do at home (chauffeur, shopping, laundry, cleaning, cooking, dishwashing, trash, repairing, yardwork, take a nap, etc.), and while she watches TV or goes to bed, I do some or all of the task list every day. My one "normal" activity is reading the newspaper while watching news. baseball on TV (we go to 20 Padres games), or watching football on TV, all of which takes some time away from genealogy.<br /><br />I wager that many other genealogists, like yourself, with 32 years of experience and research accumulation, could spend 8 to 12 hours a day doing client research, writing books, maintaining a website, etc. and achieve even more.
