Write one journal entry. Spend 10 minutes today and write a free form journal entry. Write anything that comes to your mind. Don’t force it or judge yourself. Just let the words flow. Writing helps us be more focused and clear in our intentions.
Give others your full attention. Working moms are notorious for being distracted. You probably have more than a dozen things on your mind right now and only one of them has to do with the person in front of you. You'll improve your relationships with others and find more focus when you give others your full attention.
Keep it simple. Life as a working mom is complicated. It just is. And sometimes we unintentionally make it worse by adding more to the schedule. Then we feel guilty about not doing enough. It's a vicious cycle that keeps us running and never able to feel caught up. Break that cycle just for a day by focusing on keeping things simple. Be present and do the best you can. It's good and that's good enough.
The Work Life Lab is a place to explore what works- and what doesn't- when trying to strike that elusive sense of work-life balance. I'm a working mom with three kids. I try things and share my experiences with the hopes that some of the best strategies might work for you too.
