Dayshift is doable, but
🧪 Experiment Log — Update
Status: Dayshift
Result: Doable. Even successful… for about a week.
Then parenting a toddler did what it does best: introduced chaos.
Schedule drifted back to nightshift. lol.
🧠Findings
What I learned is this:
I am present for most of Kai’s waking hours.
But my attention is split—half on work, half on tracking what he’s currently getting into.
Not absent.
Just divided.
And that division of attention is the cost to a dayshift work routine.
🔄 Conclusion (for now)
The experiment still counts.
I can reshuffle my schedule when needed.
I know the trade-offs better now, either I give Kai half a day of full family and Kai time, or the whole day but I linger around the laptop half or most of the time.
At the very least, I’ve left myself notes for the next time I do a dayshift.
