So glad you are finding a productive rhythm again. It is especially nice you are able to build that time in for your son. That is what it is all about. I understand being in hte groove all too well, and would love to find mine again, but it just ain't there right now. Personally, I am still looking for mine after the holidays and my wife going in the hospital. Not sure there is any relief either because she goes back in a couple weeks.
It is a little more nuanced for me to separate work from personal time as I am semi-retired, but starting my own business working from home. However, what works for me is that my kids are grown and out of the house and the wife is very understanding and supportive.
BUt yeah, maintaining that balance is important.

Yeah, since I've worked from home for the last several years, one of the most important parts of my day is spending time with my son. I don't always make it as productive or important as I could, but the important thing is that I am NOT one of those parents who sits on the couch, fucks around on their phone while their kid just lives his life. I see it on a daily basis and it bothers the fuck out of me.
That being said though, when we are in the zone for something that we have to do as an adult, we have to balance it out!
I think you'll get back in the groove man. I think an important thing with that is just doing something a little more than the day before in relation to the groove that you want to be in. If you spent 60 minutes today doing your thing, spending 65 tomorrow is important. Even if that additional 5 minutes is just doing some market research on something related, it's still time associated with the end result!
I think working from home has it's own challenges for sure. For me, dedicating one specific space to the workplace is crucial. I have always had a desk that is ONLY work, plus a family photo or something. That way when I am at that desk, it gets done!
Yeah, I am disgusted by people that parent by phone too. It is great you are involved, I was too with mine and we always got out and did things.
Yeah, I'll get my groove back soon. No doubt.
