@anshitasaini_ Went back and tried study mode. A suggestion would be to somehow identify the from chat history as a dedicated study mode.

@mattragland I am married and have been planning to come up with a similar routine.
Currently the schedules are mostly in our minds.
English

I have 3 kids, a full-time job, workout 4x per week, coach baseball, volunteer at church, and spend the majority of my weekend time with my family.
Here's what a normal week looks like 👀
The Simple Time Block Breakdown ⏰
🔴 Work = 40-45 hours, little early/late
🟢 Social = Church, kids baseball, football
🟢 Family = 90% of wknd time and all evenings
🔵 Workouts = 3-4x CrossFit, BJJ, plus playing with boys
A few things to point out and how I work around the inevitable changes of entrepreneurial work, raising 3 young boys, and staying connected to my wife and friends.
I stick to core hours at work between 10a-4p every day except Thursday (BJJ). My best work days are the ones where I go straight from a morning workout to the office. I stay dialed in and get a lot done, which carries to the rest of the week.
I avoid work on the weekends (hence the "event" note) but often write my newsletter late Friday or early Saturday when kids are sleeping. I'd rather work on the edges and keep my weekends free.
My wife and I set our workout times and stick to them. If I want to go to Jiu-Jitsu, then I need to go at 6am. If I'm tired, that's fine, but I don't get to go in the evening instead. I have my time and it's up to me to go.
Speaking of my wife - she's incredible. She homeschools the kids and runs the house day-to-day. There's tension, sure. We are always tired and often feel like we're pushing a boulder up a hill.
We would like more 1-on-1 and 1-on-none time. We're very focused on providing that balance for each other, but it's always a bit less than we planned for. But it's also a season of life with young kids that we are embracing for their joy and energy.
We try to bring friends to our activities, e.g. the farmer's market, workouts, hikes, the zoo, kids games, or host watch parties during football season. I call this "happy stacking" because I'm doing multiple things I enjoy at the same time. Like sitting in an old van at a brewery.
It's hard not to want to do MORE. I honestly want to work more than I do, there's so much energy and momentum in the business. But I also want to spend more time with my kids, and hell I want to train more than I do (CrossFit and BJJ).
That's the biggest challenge
- Fitting in everything I want to do
- Realizing I can't do everything I want to do
- Not comparing to other people's social posts
- Remembering I'm on my own path and timing
One more thing: I have been recognizing and rewiring old beliefs about what the perceived limitations of my own path are, i.e. "guess I'll make less money then."
It's striking a balance between gratitude for what I have (and there is so much to be grateful for) and openness to the opportunities that come my way.
Thanks for reading all the way down. I'd love to hear from other people (especially parents) on how they make a busy, ambitious, but still pretty balanced life happen. Rooting for you all!

@snitin315 Quite true and with module federation being introduced in webpack 5, it's imperative to explore webpack.

@techsith1 On paper flutter looks promising. I have always wondered about the learning curve of dart. Do share your experience with dart.
English

@_akashpal Yes dart is one of them. I know just enough to code flutter but now I am deep diving 😁

@championswimmer @WazirXIndia I recall your tweet somewhere where you had mentioned about the 1L.
Suprised to see the growth despite the bitcoin being so volatile.
English

With my larger holdings I usually trade via Coinbase (older, and using since many years) and keep the "HODL" pieces in own wallets outside exchanges,
Beginning of this year I put INR 1L into a new @WazirXIndia account.
This is where it is now, mostly via $DOGE $ETC and $BCH
