Truly smart routine, and I love the way it portrays balance. Most at times it feels like to be an excellent PM in the construction industry precisely, you must make up your mind to sacrifice a lot of stuffs, especially family time if you wish to see your project delivered on time, on budget and with top notch quality.
Really enjoyed this article. One thing I would add to purpose of the 3pm Site Walk is this: it shows the work crews that you're engaged, care about their work, and not just an "office pencil pusher." I've found that this helps with morale and trust with the teams.

Thank you Mark. Fantastic add here, couldn't agree more! Demonstrating that you care and understand their world builds major leadership capital.
An 11 hour work day with 2 hrs for "Family Time" is a recipe for divorce, estranged kids and "Happy clients"
Work / life balance is a myth. There is life..Health is #1, then family...then the rest.
