I agree with Overmain, real life first then plan your "free" time.
Unless you absolutely have to be the best F2P player, there's no need to keep plugging at the game at all hours.
Also, once you hit the higher levels things reach a plateau and the rush slows down. There's also no need to get into events that are in certain timeslots (eg. Sage battlefield is almost always during dinner time so since server start (since June) I've only really attended... less than 15 times, because dinner with family is more important, etc.)
Have a goal, and see what you'd like to do. If there's something that interferes with an important real life event, choose life over game =P. (You'd be happier over it, in our server, we've had several top players quit due to burnout from over-playing)
