Love a little behind-the-scenes look! It’s especially useful as we start thinking about how we will go through our weeks with a kid.

I feel so fortunate to not have that thank God it’s Friday feeling as well.

I just spoke with a friend who works as a product manager and had a baby and is changing from full-time to 60%, and his partner will change to 50%.

Hearing that plus posts like this one about parenting help my partner and me decide whether we want to have a kid.

The details of these unconventional schedules are helpful.

As someone who’s on a path to radically alter her relationship with work by taking her first “slow”batical in 14 years, am such a big fan of your journey and how open and generous you have been in doing that! Super inspiring. Where can I learn more about StrategyU?

"We’re also in a nice stretch with our daughter where she reliably sleeps 12 hours a night and 3 hours during the day so there’s a bit of predictability in our weeks (which was not the case last year)"

I have a child about the same age and am a full-time SAHD, and this sounds like heaven. Over the past several weeks I am realistically only getting about one hour a day to myself.

Loved this format Paul. Cool to get a behind the scenes into your day to day. Sounds like quite the productive week!
