I usually find myself writing all blogging day long in terms of publishing various length updates. I publish these to social media mainly. But I also give myself a number of hours once each week to write and publish a post to my blog just to keep the momentum going over there. Now it's all about off-site work and as I'm pretty set on site but you definitely have to keep writing to keep your skills sharp. 
I batch content on social media. I usually do it every other day. I use Buffer for my social scheduling system. I'll batch schedule about 4 days worth each day to stay well ahead.
Then I research, write, and edit my blog posts, usually within 3 to 4 days.
My deadline is the day before the eve of the publish date.

How do I find time - with difficulty. I try and write before work and after the small human is asleep but it’s hard as I am knackered.
My only strategy is to post one post a week. I am also trying to be more consistent on social media

One post a week is good. Work on being consistent about that and gradually have a plan to add more once you gain more time.
Consider a scheduling service for social. It'll make it way easier!

How many post would you say is optimal. I want to get up to two a week. Also what scheduling tool would you recommend
If you can consistently post 2 a week, I say go for it. The more, the better.
But for social, I'd post multiple times a day. Post mostly native (non-promotional). I use Buffer: All-you-need social media toolkit for small businesses for mine. They have a generous free version, but I am using the Essentials premium plan myself.
On my newest blog, I post once a week on the blog and 5 times a day on social. I have a goal of eventually posting three times a week on the blog and about 10-13 times a day on social media profiles.
