Who among us doesn’t need help with this in our super-connected workaday world?
Some solutions …
- Put your screens to bed before you put your children to bed and let them both rest while you engage your spouse and loved ones in real time.
- Take back control of your life and put your digital devices back where they belong – as tools to help make life better and relationships more fruitful.
- Jot your day’s accomplishments down and put them somewhere you can remind yourself of how productive you were. After hours is about relationships not productivity.
- Greet your spouse and children with the mindset like you have been away on a trip for two weeks when returning home. And do this every day.
- Engage those around you. Let them pick the topics and suggest potential outcomes for your time together. Power down and step up.
