00:00If I'm home I set a boundary where 6 p.m. I'm at dinner with my girls and I

00:05promise them that every night. So from 6 to about 8 when they're going down I'm

00:10really locked in there. Unfortunately I don't really stop working. Afternoon I'm

00:15always busy, I'm always picking things up, I'm always running and then at night I

00:20might have an event or get invited over somewhere or have to fly out. I'm not

00:24sure anyone here could answer that question truthfully because you never

00:29really stop completely. Most of the time 7 p.m. before dinner. You know in the old

00:33days you'd go to work and you'd come home now it's more like a fabric that's

00:37intertwined and I probably go to bed by 11 and so in that through the day I'm

00:42kind of working and intertwining it with personal stuff just because when you're

00:49global business the clock never stops. I stop when I am tired enough that I'm no

00:53longer productive. So my objective is to be asleep by 10. I have not yet

00:58hit that objective. My day ends normally after a work dinner so I often have work

01:03dinners as well so it's a long day. I stop working every day when it's evening

01:09for the stakeholders that I'm talking to around the world. It could be midnight

01:13because it's 12 noon in Asia or it could be 5 p.m. In the U.S. I try to stop kind

01:19of with dinners finishing at 8.30, 9 o'clock so that I get some sleep and then

01:24in Europe I tend to work relatively late so usually until 9 10 o'clock. It

01:28depends what you call work so for me it's a joy being around people and I

01:34seldomly stop doing all of that until it's time to sleep.
