Get married, get kids. Have no time left. No projects, no cry.

Married, two kids. I have time for projects. Although, if I'm honest, really no social life. I have about 3-5 hours in the evening in which I need to balance house work, projects, exercise, couple time.

It's only through management that I get anything done at all

I have an ideas folder, each idea gets a text file with a summary of the idea. I write it, I leave it for at least 2-3 weeks, often longer. If I still think its a goer after that, I flesh out out, spend time thinking about implementation

If an idea is to be explored, it gets a folder for prototypes, notes, resources etc.

There are people on here far more organised than me, and I plan to steal their methods.

Idea: An AI bot that sums up the main points from all of the answers on an "Ask HN" post

I'm married with two kids. I did my personal project for two years while I was commuting on the train in the mornings. (too tired in the evenings generally).

you're not supposed to marry two kids.

Not with that attitude.
