After eight years running that team I thought I wanted to be doing coding, but it turned out what I wanted was to do about two weeks of coding and then go back to running a team.

I am also very much not a morning person, and I suspect that dragging myself out of bed to do work at home would not be a plus; nor does it feel like having a strong work-type presence in my home space would help with ability to put work down and do something else when that is called for, it would have the potential failure mode of opening yet another front in the war on anxiety, for me. But I am very glad you've found something that clearly works so well for you.

How have you balanced not being interrupted at work with having small children around ?
