SUMMARY:Often, busy Dads bring their work home
DESCRIPTION:How can you avoid doing this for the next month?\nSetting expectations and getting stuff done.\nI’ll start again here by saying that I fully understand that sometimes work\ndemands a little more from us and this will encroach on to otherwise family\ntime. In a joined up world of time zones and globalisation it becomes harder\nto define work hours a a steady and consistent 9 to 5. In fact, the younger\ngenerations don’t want to be restrained by such timeframes. But that\nshouldn’t deflect from the point in hand here that whatever times or rules\nyou set yourself for finishing work, don’t take work home with you this month!\nI find it helpful to sit down at the beginning of a week (maybe sometimes on a\nSunday evening) and plot out my week ahead. This includes having the diary\nopen to make sure the meetings I have are locked in the diary. It includes\nthings I need to do at home – football practice, gym time etc and it includes\nthe more admin tasks I need to do; the day to day running of the business.\nI also write down for the projects I work on what individual things need to\nhappen that week for me to sit down on Friday afternoon and thing its been\na productive week. From my list and the time allowed in my diary I apply\nsomething called the Eisenhower Matrix to the tasks I’ve written down.\nYou may be familiar with the tool it’s very popular in management. You should\nhave a look online for more about it but I find this is a super way of prioritising\nwork, making sure my time is focussed on the important tasks at hand and\nwhich tasks I might choose to outsource or get rid of all together.\nEach morning I will do a to do list for that day and once that’s complete,\nbarring any emergencies that crop up, I know with a clear conscious that I\ncan leave work at work and focus on the roles I have to play at home.\nI’m not perfect here and that isn’t my aim. I want to be in better control and\nhave better decision making about where I spend my time. I don’t want work\nto regularly encroach on my home time and self, regardless how much I\nenjoy doing what I do.\n
