5. Don't take work home with you.*
One of the easiest ways to alienate your loved ones at home and build a solid foundation of resentment is to bring your work home with you. Set limits. No calls/emails/etc. after a certain time or whatever. Remember that you won't get this time back with your family and friends. Also, your job won't hold you close at night, but if you keep up this nonsense, neither will your wife.
* Ah, yes. An intentionally placed asterisk. The only exception to this rule is practicing your selling tactics, which you must, must, MUST practice at home. Developing mad skills in the arts of persuasion ("Honey, are you as thirsty as I am? Doesn't a beer sound really good right now? Why don't you grab a couple from the fridge for us? Geez, thanks!) and other tactical strategies will come in handy, both at home, and at work the next morning.
