Depends what I'm working on. Often I enter the flow and become engrossed in what I'm doing and at that point, the surroundings become totally unimportant.

Thanks a lot for the comments.

As I read through some of the comments, I see that my arch-nemesis "time management" probably is one the reasons I'm sweating over this. Using the right amount of spare time effectively and letting it take it's time is probably key, but oh so hard to do.

You've given me good food for thought, thanks!

I have been tossing around a few ideas for a start-up, a couple of different angles on small-scale game development for download services, and getting good feedback from people around me.So I'm faced with a dilemma: I have a family with small children. Not really the optimal situation for an time-consuming adventure like this. Is this the time to do this, or should I step down and postpone...
