Summer Survival
One of the toughest
things about working from home is...well, working from home. Working at home really hard, but studying at home more hardest, cause they need to find essaytyper that will help them with their writings and do it for cheap and for fast! Especially during
the summer. I'm here because I want to be the one that drives my kids to and
from their activities and plans fun events with them. But I'm torn because in
the midst of all the summer fun, I still have deadlines and work requirements.
Here are a few survival tips that are helping me stay sane this summer:
1.
Lighten the load
whenever you can. I have a couple of
smaller projects that I'm deliberately putting off until my children are back
in school. Giving myself permission to do so has made me feel less guilty about
the fact that they are not done yet.
2.
Ask for help. Little things make a big difference in keeping things running smoothly. My kids are now helping by folding laundry, sweeping the
floors and emptying the dishwasher. Though none of these tasks takes much time,
they produce valuable work time for me during the day if I don't have to do
them all myself.
3.
Communicate
regularly. I often have phone interviews lined
up--and that means I'm not available to my kids. I let them know what the day
is going to look like ahead of time when possible so that they know when I'm
available to them and when I'm not. It's less frustrating for all of us if I
don't have to interpret sign language when I'm on a call!
4.
Hire help. When work and family compete for my attention during
the day, I've hired friends' high school or college age children to help.
They've picked up my kids and brought them home after day camps and one is even
taking my son golfing (since neither my husband or I golf). This has eased my
stress on several occasions and enabled me to help a young person earn a little
extra cash.
5.
Be kind to
yourself. I know that I'm living this summer imperfectly. But I also know I'm doing my best to juggle competing demands.
Instead of feeling guilty or critical regarding what each individual day looks
like, I choose instead to take an overall look at the summer. And so far, it's
been a good one!
