For us it is hard to keep a regular schedule, we have tried but to do a solid 9 - 5 would never work.
We have an office which is seperate from the house but still on the property. I start at 6am, emails etc, breakfast then take kids to school, back by 8 work submitting, editing, updates then shoots. My wife does her privates and then shoots...we alternate picking kids up from school....sports....more sports....work in between...supper...more work...privates for the wife and eventually in bed between 11.30 and midnight. With a regular 9 - 5 we would not have the family time and would loose a lot of the benifits associated with that. We do work a split schedule over weekends, but do try and set time aside for everyone to be together.
But the key is disipline, you have to be disiplined to be able to leave and come back and carry on where you left off. It took a while for us to get there, but when you do it is well worth it.
