Work-life balance for businessmen is a myth like unicorns and the yeti—but scheduling your whole life is the secret of getting as close as possible.

Most men measure their success by how much they get done at work. But your family measures your success as a husband and father by how much time you give to them.

And unless you schedule that time, it will never get done because your measure of success will take over.

My partner Bill and I have been on both sides of this issue, and have seen our family lives become far greater because of it.
