I've agreed with the good lady that I will work in the evenings between Monday and Thursday, which normally gives me three-four hours a night, after the kids have gone to bed. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are for the family with the odd exception, which has the added benefit of giving me some thinking time. I have 30 days holiday a year and use 10 of those days for working on my own stuff; effectively a working holiday but its very useful.
- user24 16y agoI really like this idea. Too often we hear about young, single founder with no commitments. Well yeah it's easy to hack away to 3 AM if you're living in your parents basement! I used to code all night long when I was still in school. Now I'm 27 with a 9-5.30 job and a partner, friends, family. I like to go swimming, I like eating out and cooking meals in, all that gets in the way of marathon hacking sessions. Carving out dedicated time in the weekly time-budget is a good way to manage the balance.
