There is a very famous motivational speaker named Zig Zigler who once did a talk about putting things off that we want to do. He said that we often miss opportunities in our life because we are always caught up with what we're doing now.
For instance, we say, "Oh, I'll do that after I graduate college." Then we graduate and find outselves busy looking for a job. "Oh, I'll do that once I find a job." Then we are busy with our new job. "Oh, I'll do that once I get married and have two incomes." But then we're busy with out new home and our new husband and a new baby. "Oh, I'll do that once the baby is old enough to go to school." But then we get a job when the child is in school. "Oh, I'll do that once I retire.."
.... and on and on it goes.
The moral of the story is, if we want to do something badly enough, we can make the time to do it.
And speaking of AI'ing.. it's a long, difficult process. But aside from sending out a letter and meeting the local chapter.. it's not a time consuming process. It's more about waiting.
If one finds their home through AI, it can be as busy as you choose-- depending on how involved you want to be. There are no mandatory meetings... you are as active as your schedule permits, and put in as much (or as little) time as you like.
