The endless "hours matter" debate. For me, it's been a revolution at RescueTime. I had a 5 year old and new born when I started. You structure your day right, you should be able to get done what is useful in a day's work in around 5-6 hours for most days. Otherwise, you need to restructure your day. You're doing something wrong-- excess communications, excess task-switching, excess research, over-engineering or something. By consistently paying attention to getting the most out of the hours between 0830/0900 and 1530/1600, I am able to get at least 3-4 hours a day with my kids. There's the odd day where I get back on the computer after they are in bed. The simple truth is you can restructure your work to match your life with kids, you cannot restructure your kids to match your life with work.
