Its amazing how much life as you know it really does change when you have a baby.  Pre-baby and pre-marriage, I was known to be in front of my laptop for business and/or personal reasons pretty much until I went to bed at night. 

After-marriage and pre-baby, I decided to make a conscious effort to put the computer and work responsibilities away by 7pm at the latest.  Obviously, if I was negotiating a contract or had to take an important client call later at night, I would but I did my damnedest to focus on time away from work.

As recently as early January I espoused to incorporate some of the 4 hour work week principles into my daily business routine.  I wanted to be more efficient and effective by focusing strictly on the priorities and working fewer hours. 

Well, I may not have found the key to the 4 hour work week, I but sure found the key to the 4 hour work day.  The recipe calls for having a baby, working from home and trying to be a great dad and husband all while running a business at the same time. 

I have been tracking my time the past 3 weeks to get a feel for the amount of uninterrupted time that I am able to devote exclusively to business development and activity.  Its less than stellar.  Im now forced to work when I can, most notably when its quiet, like right now at a quarter to eleven at night. 

Pre-baby-me would have been dead asleep by now or reading in bed ready to pull the plug on the day.  Daddy-me is trying to play catch up while the munchkin sleeps and before she wakes up for her next feeding.  I could try to sleep myself but this feels more productive. 

Finding my way and learning to swim up river until the current subsides a little.
