Another time I have found to be good for that is just before bedtime. Easy to focus on just the one artistic thing, and this becomes a very good time to unwind, and to influence your children musically as they doze off too!

A plan in writing is a plan to be realized. Your schedule looks so much like my own after 20 + years of teaching. It has worked well for me. The only difference is that I have children of my own to manage which eats up allot of time. How great it would be for piano instructors to share how they balance these things - and most importantly, how to plan for our own 'personal piano practice time'! Oh you are so right!
