Really need to be focus, one thing at a time.
When you are at work try to leave on time, say no to adhoc meetings/ project that will mess up your plan.

I am not a working mum but I have lots of close friends who are. I think planning for recovery is a huge and important thing to forecast into the plan but beyond that I've heard its about a support network and structuring your days where you can parent / work in sprints.

Answer

I create a structured daily schedule that prioritizes my family time, integrates efficient work periods, and sets aside specific slots for my side projects, all while ensuring I take care of my physical and mental health through regular exercise and mindfulness practices!
