I'm a developer, but also a father of 2 kids. I love spending time with them, but sometimes I also like to work on my side projects. And besides that, after a long day of work, even if I have spare time, I also like to lay down on the couch and watch Netflix.

How do you other full time developer / parents out there cope with your own personal projects?

    Even without kids it's a struggle since I moved to the big city and spend an hour each way commuting. I don't mind so much so nice the actual work is much more rewarding.

    I barely get enough quality time with my kid with a full time job and commute.

    I have a ton of personal projects I wish to realize but I guess they'll never see the light of day.

    I admire anyone who can cope with this next to the family and a full time job.

    I tend to get a lot of side work done WHEN I'm sitting on the couch watching Netflix :)

    Even if you can only get in an hour every couple days (and to an impatient person like me that sounds unappealing) but eventually you've ended up putting 20+ hours into it without even realizing.

    My daughter goes to bed at 8pm which gives me a few hours each evening to work on projects.

    Train your body to function on 5 hours sleep.

    I work from home and I still struggle. Goals help, no matter how small they are. "I will fix this small issue today"

    @gmakkinga I gave you your first ++. Remember that I am the one who stole your innocents.
