Indie Parents, share your tips

Ouch, my situation exactly! In the evening when they're asleep is currently the best time to block and work. My favorite is the early mornings, but sometimes one of them is up (too) early too. They also surprised me sometimes during the day that hey were just playing (drawing, lego's etc) and were submersed in it for 30+minutes. I took the occasion and worked shorter sprints. The "under pressure" feeling of them stopping their work any moment, actually made me very effective. It's unpredictable though if they play in their flow like that :o)

Does locking the office door and putting on noise cancelling headphones count?

I must say you have written a great article. The way you have described everything is phenomenal. JCPenney Employee Kiosk

There should be more double caregivers in the same situation，it`s a big challenge for all parents. For the issue, highly recommend using smart alarm baby monitor or surveillance monitor for kids during separated time, and a story teller machine is not bad choice too.
