What I really like about this is it doesn't focus on hacks around the kids.
I'm sceptical about the idea you could hack being a parent and if you want to you should probably think about whether parenting is something you really want to do.
If you choose to bring someone else into this world, you owe it to them to give being their mum or dad your absolute best shot and not try and cut corners. As Jeff Atwood said of Steve Jobs around the time he quit Stack Overflow "if you're going to fk something up, fk up the iPad, don't fk up your kids".
Obviously there are things you can do (usually around having an understanding partner who will put in the time you can't if that has to happen) but don't fool yourself it's the same as allof you spending quality time as a family.
