Maintain Your Priorities
Work all the time you work. Start earlier, put your head down and work the entire
time throughout the day. If you are spending more than 10% of your time
interacting with your coworkers, it is too much. Keep repeating to yourself, “Back
to work! Back to work! Back to work!”
When you go home, resolve to be there with your family 100% of the time. The
most important part of personal relationships is face-to-face contact and communication. Nothing can replace this. Your goal should be to increase the
amount of face-to-face communication time you have with your spouse and
children each day. This will improve your family life more than anything else you
can do, and it doesn’t cost a cent.
When you go home at night, resist the temptation to turn on the television and fight
for the remote control. Instead, leave things off. Leave the television off, Leave the
radio off. Leave the computer off. Turn off your cell phone and your pager.
Instead, spend the first hour when you get home building the bridges of
communication between yourself and the most important people in your life.
