* Skip TV. Lots of people spend hours every day in front of a TV, I don't. I watch in dedicated bursts and usually that means a movie per week.
* Books. I love reading books but do that on long flights, on vacation or when I have real "off time".
* Sleep. I go to bed when I'm really tired, never before. Lots of people go to bed before they are tired which is insane.
* Kids. Spend dedicated time. I drop them off at school every morning, spend some time before/after dinner every day.
* Weekends. Try not to work weekends and again have dedicated time with kids and family activities. I do weekend work in short bursts when needed and save the rest for recreation.
