If "critical decision points" are seriously that critical, they would occur lesser and you don't need to balance that. Since its critical, you must attend it.

But if "critical decision points" are coming in very frequently - you are probably not delegating work or you have a team that doesn't raise issues in daily meetings, or that simply "can't decide" or "doesn't have the freedom to decide independently" or "do not want to take responsibility to decide for some reason".
