It seems like the problems often addressed are "handling the firehose of emails at work" or "trying to create a creative work that you'll be remembered for," and if they aren't your problems typical productivity advice won't work for you
The opening to this had me cracking up. I launched a private consulting business when I was pregnant--the productivity advice of all the bro marketers was completely inapplicable to my life. My daughter is now 16 months. I feel everything in this essay with every fiber of my being. I like my job and it's flexible but it's still hard as hell to manage with a toddler, and I'm worn out. To hell with ambition!
Appreciate you sharing your perspective! And best of luck finding balance.
