This. Although how dedicated you want to be with this is up to you, e.g. you didn't mention this, but I assume your relationship with your spouse is important as well. This is what works for me for my relationship with my kids as well as my wife:
- Evenings after work is family time. Focusing on kids if necessary.
- Wednesday evening after kids go to bed, as well as early Saturday morning, is skill building time for me.
- Every other evening after kids go to bed is time spent with my wife.
This tends to be a good mix that keeps everyone happy.
I've been battling with this exact sentiment. I want to spend time skill-building, but my wife is a definite priority.
You're right, 3 hours on Wednesday, and getting up early on a Saturday morning is plenty of time to learn something new, or apply the skills you have to a side-project.
I came here to say just that. It also _does_ increase security if X isn't used by the application in the snap (i.e. if the X11 or unity7 interfaces aren't requested).
