I get a lot done (4 kids, 2 companies, academic researcher) by ensuring that I create as much free time for myself as possible. Almost free days 2-3 days a week, remaining days have meetings. 2 hours in the morning for family and 4 at night. My free time allows me to work at my best, doing what I want to do. Of course, it’s hard to avoid meetings, but I try! My most productive days are when I can run at 8, 420 at 10am, and have 6+ hours of flow. I don’t watch tv and HN is my social media. I’m news addicted and I love chatGPT. And I have really, excellent amazing people around me to whom I give a lot of inspiration and autonomy. Big time ADD, but I love it.
