Interesting. A couple of questions:
- How young are the kids?
- How do they behave, especially with essentials like eating and sleeping habits?
- Could you carve out a morning and/or evening routine for yourself?
- How much outside help could you rely on (grandparents nearby, lovely neighbours...)?
My kids now are 7,5,2.
They were obviously younger when I was doing it.
2 years was during COVID so I never really had to travel for classes which really saved time.
I did most of the coding and ideation on either paternity leave or holidays. Evenings were often running smaller experiments or eventually endless iteration of a paper.
My wife was great and helped me focus usually 8-11pm most nights and some weekends 1-4pm.
We don't live nearby any family and friends were not much help.
