Hey Tom,

I'm in similar situation. I'm married with a 2-year old and a busy job. The main thing that has worked for me is getting into a rhythm of practicing at the same time everyday. I practice after my son has gone to sleep - right before I go to bed. I try to start at the same time everyday, then when practice time rolls around I do my best to transition from what I was doing to practicing. Some days work or other obligations get in the way, but the time I practice is usually not a time that will be interrupted by other things. This make it so that if I miss a day, I can get back into the swing of things, the next day.

I've also found that integrating guitar into family time, like during dinner or playtime, can also be a great way to practice. My kid enjoys it (and doesn't mind if I miss a note). Probably not the best for when you need to focus on something new, but a great way to stay fresh.

Good luck!
