"No phone on me at home" Rule
This is something I am very passionate about.... and still not great at 😬
When I transitioned from my role as an SDR to an account executive, I quickly found myself working nights and weekends (especially during our peak season in Q4). I was answering customer questions, responding to emails late at night, and habitually checking slack like a maniac every hour.
This came to a head when my wife graciously called me out and asked if I intended to be sacrificing this family time for work. I'll add that many of these tasks were outside my job scope and would be better and more efficiently handled by our Customer Success Team.
Several times a year I find myself returning to the "no phone on me at home" rule (stolen from Make Time by ). This simply means putting my phone out of reach as soon as I walk in the door. Rather than having my communication device attached to me like a pacifier, I keep it in a central location where I can go to it if I need to look something up, but leave it behind when I am done. Typically this is our bedroom upstairs.
This small change has made a big impact on me.
What small practices like this are you doing to be more present in your home?
Here is a great book I stole this practice from: https://amzn.to/4cNgTHD
