The biggest lesson I took away from this experience in my own life was learning to leave tasks in a resumable state. If I did get to work on something, I would do my utmost to leave it in a state where I could come back to it and dig in right away. For code at work, I might break the code where I wanted to jump back in (uncommitted change) so a build would show me what line of code I was editing when someone threw up or doorbell rang causing the baby to wake, the dog up freak out, and my train of thought to be derailed for the next hour. That, and learning how to survive on what is essentially polyphasic sleep.
