This seems much better than my current approach. I get home around 5:30pm. Spend time with my 7 month old and help out wife while she prepares dinner. We eat dinner and watch TV for about 45 minutes (I know bad habit). Get baby ready for bed around 7:30-8pm. By time baby is asleep it's 8:30 or 9. I then try to get in 1-2 hours of work before bed. Unfortunately I'm usually physically and mentally drained by this time. I dedicate the least productive 2 hours of my day to myself while I give my best hours to my company.

I do feel like my company deserves my best hours. That is why I take into consideration what's going on at work when doing this. If I feel like I can put in an hour and still be fresh for work, then I'm ok. If work is really draining and I need all the energy I can get, I back off on my personal stuff.
