Don't ever get the idea that reading your Bible, prayer, and evangelism should interfere with your responsibility to earn a living or take care of your family. Spiritual disciplines govern the way we earn our living. They provide us with proper motivation for the work we do. They make teaching children, analyzing water samples, painting a house, running a crew, or tending to the sick an eternal work. If you are shirking your responsibilities to your family or to your employer and using the excuse that you need more time for God, you are truly deceived.
