How do you find time for family?
Re: Ask HN: How much time per week do you spend on side projects?
#5Depends highly on family scheduling.
On weeks where I have a free Saturday (no kids or girlfriend) I can get in a solid 8-12 hours depending on motivation and other chores.
On weeks where I don't get that Saturday it can range from 2-6 hours if I'm lucky.
My current side project is something that if I had a company I could task out 2-4 devs, full-time, for probably 3-6 months just to get to beta state.
It actually really sucks, and is more depressing than I generally admit.

#9None right now. Work demands are exciting team capacity so I'm often needed for overtime work. Any spare time is spent with family.

#1010 hours a week based on how busy I am.
You really need to pre-plan what you will do to get the most out of the time.
