It was great. He had a blast. It was very satisfying having that experience with him. It was great. I would like to do that. But I don't want to change another diaper in my life. And I don't want to pretend like that was a moment to enjoy.
Welcome back to Help Wanted. Let's get to it. so this is the funny paradox of everything that i just said which is that i spend a lot of time focused on and being stressed like a lot of just internal monologue time in my life focused on and being stressed by all the things that i can't do because i'm a parent i have a long list of them jen has heard it too much and yet my career has accelerated

I would say, faster and stronger in the years in which I have been a parent than in the years in which I was not. Now, part of that is that you just get smarter as you get older. I was a parent on the latter parts of my life, not the earlier.

But another part of it, I think actually very interestingly, is that when you have kids, you are forced in a way that, at least for me, I never otherwise had to experience. be incredibly rigorous about how you spend your time. Whereas I used to be a lot more leisurely about how I spent my time, I am now regimented.

And when my kids get out the door in the morning, I know exactly what I need to get done in the hours before they show up back home. And I obsess over that. Now, there's still a downside to this. Yesterday is a good example. I had a lot of work to do yesterday, and I really wanted to take a walk. I hadn't gotten out of the house.

I was anchored to the computer, just taking a walk and listening to a podcast. is a way to just feel calmer for me. And I kept watching the time tick down and it was like 3 p.m. And I would say, oh, I got a little more time left. I got to get a walk in 4 p.m. Oh, I got to get a walk in 5 p.m. And then I got to 6, which is when I'm on as dad. That's the rule here is 6 p.m.

is when like pencils down. And I never got the walk-in. Now, if I didn't have kids, I could have worked a nice full workday and put things down at 6 or 6.30 and then a lovely walk and maybe met a friend for dinner. And I can't do that. Instead, it's like I'm on dad duty. And I was actually telling Jen about that. And she was like, well, why don't we take a walk as a family? And that's what we did.

And I'll be honest.
