You're raising a great point. While I'm not living together with my partner, we do have a little family and I'm very much with you that it's super hard to get anything done with kids around.

Unless you get up super early, stay up super late after kids are in bed, or use the time when they aren't around (e.g. kindergarden), I also think that it's almost impossible to fully focus on something for a longer period.

I guess it kind of boils down to finding the right routines. That certainly doesn't make it easier...

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't realize people were actually commenting here...

So coming back to your question:

In my case, I'm lucky enough to work for a company that is entirely distributed and decentralized and doesn't actually tell me when and how long to work as long as the output is sound.

Obviously, in practice you most often have to put in some hours to get stuff done (that's what I'm being paid for after all). So while my work schedule isn't enforced, I chose for myself to work at these hours (not just for my employer) because I tend to function best at those hours.

Now... do I want to reserve several hours of each day for work for the rest of my life? Certainly not. But that's what work right now for me and it can and will totally change in the future.

I'm documenting my journey of learning the Rust programming language with blog posts that are easy to understand (hopefully), especially for people without a systems programming background (like me).

I'm accumulated a bunch of articles already an decided to create an every growing twitter thread where people can follow my journey and learn alongside with me.

Hopefully this is useful for some people out there.
