Basically, it comes down to:
(1) knowing that it will probably take longer than you anticipate
(2) having motivation beyond getting a higher salary
(3) leveraging as much of your professional network as possible
(4) setting small task-based goals, not time-based (which can leave you feeling defeated if you didnt code much cos the kids needed you more than usual)
