Five Top Tips To Defend Family Time

1. What are the "must haves"?

Decide what you absolutely must make time for each day.

2. Be clear and decisive

Decide what you will say "no" to so that you can say "yes" to what's most important.

3. Share meals

Have as many family meals per week as possible and use them to connect with your kids, and listen to them.

4. Make the most of time off

Plan your weekends & holidays so that you can include some family time, rest time and leisure time.

5. Get "choosy"!

5. Bring the word "choose" into your life. "Choosing" to do anything puts you in control of your time rather than fire fighting your way through your life.
