Discussion on: Parents in tech, how do you balance your time between coding and playing with your kids?

That is great that you have the flexibility to move your schedule as needed. I am fortunate in that as well!

I really love that you have put time and thought into your sleep schedule. This is something that I need to incorporate into my life. I am similar in the fact that I hate sleeping, and I function very well off of little sleep. However, the benefits of planning your sleep could be so beneficial.

I am a bit of a productivity nerd at heart. So I am compelled to agree with you in everything you say here. I just need to take my productivity outside of just coding and learn to apply that elsewhere. Thank you for time in responding to this.

Quick question for you. Do you actively plan your day to day, as in a schedule? I don't necessarily mean your work time either. For me that is pretty planned out, but when it comes to free time, I feel completely disorganized.

What I can plan I will, but as you know things change rapidly. I do try to stay committed to something I chose to do , like right now dancing and gym.

Makes perfect sense. I am just trying to get a grasp on what works for others. My hope is to perfect my usage of time. Thanks again for the ideas!
