Fellow Dads, what are you best tips for finding your flow state and optimal work environment when you often work at home? Impossible task and just need to get out of the house? 😅

The moment your kid turns three months old, put them in school 👍 When they're in school, you work. When they're home and awake, you don't.

Personally, I do late nights. Knock out easy tasks during the day. Pause at 4-4:30 for family time until kids are down. Deep work 8pm-12am

My best focus hours are when they are asleep. Now they’re a bit older, I also have a small whiteboard that shows when I’ll take breaks and come out of my room, which clarifies expectations (e.g the “Dad look at this!”things)

I do a bit of office work in the wintertime, and generally have a couple of rhythms which work for me. Prearranged evening where I can block out a big chunk of time for office work and my wife does post dinner clean up and bed times etc. a 6PM-11PM block can get a lot accomplished (we eat dinner on the early side), allows more time intensive projects beyond the more consistent 9-11 PM shift. Try to keep a morning a week which has a similar block - don’t schedule meetings etc. and the same day of the week. Works well unless we get a snow day. My blessing is my office deadlines are typically measured in weeks, so I can make pushed one week and be more relaxed. Also door closed, headphones on can be helpful for me as well.

For me it helped a ton to be flexible and not try to work during the early AM or early evening hours that were total chaos. Half the battle was just realizing how much I could get done while they’re sleeping or at school.

Over the ear headphones with noise cancellation. I work everywhere, and my best work at home or away from the house is when I have my headphones on and I'm locked in. The wake up super early approach sounds intriguing, but I also work at night so if need be I can sacrifice a bit more sleep to get something done.

I find my time between 3-7 am to be the best for productivity with no distractions. Blessed with a small room with a door that is 100 my space (plus boardgame storage).

depends if your on half duty or if a partner is covering etc. I try to work on micro sprints. I also have fidgets (wooden egg) to ground my thinking etc. if I'm coding I wrote out a to-do list in comments so if I lose track I can come right back. etc. I close all distractions like social media etc. I listen to music or put on a youtube video to ignore (helps my ADHD somehow.)

Yeah if you’re a halfway attentive dad it’s going to be really hard.

We set some specific boundaries. My kids do a great job of knowing when the door is closed, not to bother me. Took a lot of trial and error, and kind co-workers

If your wife has more power at home, you have no choice but to submissively go out 😅
