I’m not sure how much of that is commute, but I’ll echo other comments, try to reduce your hours.
You’re going through a slog with your wife in school. Figure out a way to roll back your time away between now and when she is done with the schooling.
I was in your boat a few years ago. Now I work 8:30-4:30 and will stay late two days a week only. It was tough to get there but we’ll worth it. End of the day, you’ll manage better with a time constraint.
With kids especially, every minute counts. You have a few years and at some point they won’t want to be around you. Don’t lose that time.
For friends, the best luck we’ve had has been setting standing times in advance.
Trying to juggle five calendars over text is a recipie for drama. We have standing group happy hours / dinners that we do on a monthly cycle. It’s less spontaneous, but turned into an awesome tradition.
Standing hours might be the best way to do this. To make matters even more complicated our couple friends are either er surgeons/er nurses and 2 other entrepreneurs. Makes for great splits for conversations over dinner. But incredible scheduling headaches.
The 5 calendars over text is whats driving me insane.
