I have a 9 months old daughter. I've been trying productivity techniques for years but I must say she has been the best motivator ever.
Knowing that I have to collect her from nursery, help with the bedtime routine, I need to finish as much work as possible during the day, no time to waste. At the beginning, it was just impossible for me to think finishing working at 6pm but in fact, I just feel better in my mind and my productivity skyrocketed since then.
Not to mention that I also stopped wasting time with bad projects and client.
