Every day between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., Entrepreneur Network partner Greg Rollett has reserved a time slot on his phone. During that time, he is home with his family.

这听起来有点冷。但是,看着它another way. During that three-hour block, Rollett has made it clear that no one can schedule a call or work-related meeting with him. That way, when he's home, he's actually present at the dinner table or when he's playing with his kids. He isn't checking email or trying to set something up for the next day.

In that way, it isn't as much about blocking off time for his family as it is blocking out distractions that could keep him from doing the things that are important to him.
