I am in a similar situation to you - 2 year old and a newborn and feeling a little burnt out at work.
The way I have been coping is just realizing that at this stage the timelines for pretty much everything shrink from months or years to hours and days. You need to focus on getting through the day at work, keeping sane, and being present for your partner and kiddo. Your work might not be pleasant, but you have been there for ten years so you should have a good idea of what your MVO (minimum viable output) is.
I think the Kanban approach of reducing the Work In Progress is the way to go.
I have made a conscious effort to not worry too much about big picture "career questions" and just focus on the task at hand.
Our first kid is young enough for me to know that things become more manageable once the kid is sleeping 5-6 hours at a time. For us, this happened around 4 months in.
Good luck, and I wish you and your family well!
