Exactly! I found that a strict schedule goes out the window pretty quick with small children. What I try to do is have a few "anchor points" throughout the day - 11am is always lunch, 1 pm is nap time, 7:30 is bedtime. The rest of the day is pretty flexible. In order to get work done, I try to package my workflow so the feedback loop is as tight as possible. For coding, that means small tasks, good test loop, easy to deploy. I try to do at least a little each day, even 15 minutes, just to prevent myself from forgetting how everything works. It may not seem optimized, but I know the kids are quickly getting older and I'll both have more free time later and also miss spending lots of time with them when they were small!
