chair, each commitment, each appendant group, office after office, the time commitment is cumulative.

I suggest the time management required to sustain the commitments for years takes advanced skills that the average person does not have. Freemasonry generally presents a one dimensional view of the commitment. I suggest we take a cumulative view which will lead us to an ephany of sorts.

If we as an order can define the problem, we can find solutions. In fact it would be possible to mapping out commitments including time commitment ranges- minimum average to maximum.

Add work, family and personal time and that describes a number of masons. Does this cast a light into the shadows?
