It's going to catch you anyway

Unpopular opinion - There is no shortcut

I don't care what you are working on:

Repeat after me:

I am not my job

It pays the bills and puts food on the table, but it doesn't define me

I am a Husband
I am a Leader
I am a Father

PSA to all the dads out there:

***Communicate with your kids***

Yes, talk to them

Don't ignore the other options

Once they have a phone, they will live on it

Join them in their world

Test, Snap, Facetime...

Build that channel as well

They will appreciate it
