Night Rituals for Entrepreneurs with Families
Download MP3What do you do with your downtime after the workday is finished? Mark and Ben make the case for being intentional with the time you spend with your family and how blocking your time in this way can make you more productive in the long run.
On this episode of The Friday Habit, our topic is evening rituals for entrepreneurs with families and the idea that a great day starts the day before. Once the workday ends every day, Mark and Ben are both committed to spending intentional and focused time with their families over dinner where everyone discusses their highlights and lowlights from the day. They also try to do an activity like a walk, a game, or play outside together after dinner and read together before the kids go to bed. They believe that it is important to be present with their kids when they are young and to build strong bonds that will keep their families close even after the kids have grown.
Ben finds separation from work and home by riding his electric bike home and mentally transitioning to family time on the way. Mark and Ben both set their clothes out for the next day on the night before and try to do some reflective journaling as well as preparing a to-do list and/or a priority task for the morning. They have both found that this family-focused and forward-thinking routine allows them to be meaningfully productive, focused on the things that matter most.
