The rule of thumb about contacting is to not "initiate" it. Unless of course, there is some type of real emergency. In other words, do not find excuses to text. Ask yourself if it can wait until H contacts you, or is it something you can, at the least, hold till the end of the workday.
(If there is a child with special needs, then of course, this "rule" should be adjusted accordingly.)
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
