Still waiting for my time machine to arrive, but in the absence of that, I can state that I believe my work is better because of having kids. When I felt like I had a less bounded quantity of free time, I was more inclined to squander it. Once kids made it clear that my time is extremely limited, I experienced a much stronger motivation to get something productive out of the small time I had left. Also, the kids themselves are a motivation to make more out of my life so that I can provide for them better.
