Great post, Mike! I'd like to add: set a good example of work life balance. For example, if you are catching up work because you took the afternoon off for family time, then schedule your emails to be sent first thing on the next work day. Product managers are both leaders and contributors. We can help prevent burn out by considering our impact on others.

Love this, Mike! There’s not much people talking about this topic and it’s a very crucial one. Finding that sweet spot between work and personal activities is hard specially if you have to sync with individuals around the world. But setting boundaries helps a lot. I block spaces in my calendar to focus on my health, for example.
