I think this isn’t really specific to having children - most people don’t become efficient until they have to. For many people the first time they have had strong enough time constraints is having children, but it might another family responsibility, a big outsidemof work commitment, or even a job or graduate degree in a high performance environment where you face sink or swim.

Nothing generates focus like “I have this exact 45 minutes to do X this week, or it isn’t going to happen”.

For good and Ill, I suppose .
