The importance of the 5/1/1 lifestyle...
We all have to work 5 days per week (usually) so work late those days, work hard, sleep early, do well.
1 day for family dedicated, with phone off, emails off etc.
1 day for yourself, whatever that happens to be.
Only way to stay sane. -
here is mine,
8am: kids left for school
8am - 9am: quality time with wife
9am - 7pm: work
7pm - 9pm: kids, usualy homeworks :)
9pm - 10pm: wife
10pm - 0am: me
weekend: family -
@DataJockey me on weekdays after office I reach home around 5. After that in family days until around 10:30 it'll be dedicated to family.

Everyday single day I have to give time for family, personal work and office. Prioritized in that order.
End result : low quality family time, pending personal projects. Office work - well that one is OK I guess cos the time is dedicated.
Solution : made a deal with wife - one day on weekend dedicated for family (she can plan anything she wants) and I will not do any work. Other day dedicated for my personal work/time (no family plans).
Divide weekdays similarly. On family days I checkout at sharp 4pm from office and come home straight spend the rest of the day with family alone. On the other days I stay either at office or go somewhere to work or hangout with dev buddies.
*Wife agrees*
End result: Quality family time. No interruption when coding (a dev would understand the importance of this). More productive work.
