I don't have kids, but I do have a fiancee. The trick has been that she goes to bed early. So I work 9-7, hang out with her 7-10, hack 10-2, rinse and repeat.

I don't have kids, but I do have a fiancee. The trick has been that she goes to bed early. So I work 9-7, hang out with her 7-10, hack 10-2, rinse and repeat. It's definitely forced me to improve my work habits. I say as I'm procrastinating on it.
