HOW is anyone actually doing this?

My baby is 10 months old and I own my own business and am home with my daughter. I’ve gotten by this long with a little help from family & just working during naps and while she sleeps. Needles to say business hasn’t been going well and it’s really crushing me to be letting myself and my work down. I miss it.

When I try to work while the baby is awake, she cries and grabs at me. She’ll slap my laptop. If I put her in a pack n play (we don’t really have space for a playpen), she’ll just look at me and fuss and cry until I go get her. If I sit near her while she plays, even if I’m writing notes in a notebook and not a shiny fun laptop, she’ll try to rip up my pages and grab my pen, no interest in her toys.

I love her to death. But I’m just getting nothing done, ever. I’d even settle for an hour while she’s awake, that would be enough. How are any of you doing any of this? I’m trying to avoid screen time if possible, hoping that isn’t the only answer. TIA
