How many years has this thing been going on? Oh, months? It's only been MONTHS!?
In the beginning we were always talking work/life balance, but I feel like nobody's been talking about that lately. And how FREAKING hard is it to work when you have kids at home!
I know that I don't have that great of a work/life balance these days. I do work in the evening to get ready for the next day. I have to or I'll be behind before I even get started in the morning. So let's go over what we need to do to make sure life and work are separate!
- The first is to have a routine and structure.
- Carve out a space that is only for work.
- Consider in-home daycare. (this one never occurred to me!)
- Understanding what your boss expects from you is always important.
- It's also good to keep in touch with your co-workers.
And remember to not do it alone. Get your spouse to help, get your co-workers to help. Maybe your parents if they live close. We can get through this!
