I have a 16 month old, do engineering (performance testing, load testing, distributed systems testing, database optimizations, and more for https://github.com/amark/gun https://github.com/amark/gun ), but also am the CEO. This means I correspond with investors, do fund raising (which is another full time job), and of course have to be around for sales and everything else.
What is the magic sauce to doing it all?
Family.
I owe everything to my supportive wife, who herself just successfully defended her PhD last week and published a paper with one of the most prolific scientists in psychology (and science in general, Baumeister has over 120,000 citations - more than Hawking!).
When you make sure you have a healthy relationship, by edifying each other and promoting each other's ideals/dreams, life becomes a flourishing whirlwind of excitement - psychologists call this "eudaimonia".
Care for, and love what is right, true, noble, and worthwhile. All else will fade away, and then you'll have time for what matters. And never, ever, give up.
