Two kids (8-month year old daughter and 2,5-year-old son). Going to keep it short as it's five o clock.
I work from home and have in-ear headphones to block sound, as otherwise, it's just too distracting. I try to keep to strict hours as other wise I don't get work done ( 8 to 5, no weekends ). As I've got RSI this is not a big problem, work too much and my arms will start aching.
I've disabled all my notifications so my mind is with my kids when I'm having a day off. It will still race off thinking about products and what to build by itself but no notifications makes a big difference. I'm trying to BE there with them as much as possible.
I love that I am here to see them grow up but I hate that my brain is not always there. It's a double-edged sword.
