Today, I’m going to share with you my 5 tips on how to work from home whilst combining family care responsibilities. These days I’m a mum working from home but it wasn’t always like that for me. I used to be one of the millions of people going off to the daily grind of a traditional job working for a boss, dependent on someone else for my monthly pay-check.
I have a family to look after including my husband, my daughter and my elderly invalid mother and between them, they all have complex needs, particularly my mum. Then there’s our dog, he’s a Border Collie so needs his three mile run each day.
It was a juggling act fitting my family commitments around the demands of a full time job. At times, I felt like I was a hamster on a treadwheel going faster and faster and the worst part was not being around when my family needed me most. If you’re juggling family responsibilities with a job, then you’ll know what this feels like.
Not being able to do a simple thing like take my daughter to school was a hard pill to swallow. But now that I’m a mum working from home, I have my quality of life back and we all benefit. I can be around when I’m needed and it makes a huge difference.
Since I found the best new online business I’m running from home, if my daughter needs collecting from school, I don’t have those panicky feelings of how I’m going to get the time off work, I can decide for myself.
Whether you work in a traditional job or you work at home, you’re going to have all sorts of challenges to face, so I’ve put together a few tips that should help you keep on top of things.
Prioritise: Learn to prioritise to make sure all the important things get done. One of the easiest ways to do this is to make a list. Have lists for daily tasks, shopping, events etc. They really do make a difference and keep you on track. If you write a list, chances are you won’t wake up in the night in a panic.
Motivation: This is something that only you can do and without it, you won’t get much done. Make sure you do whatever is necessary to put yourself into the right frame of mind. If you know what you want to achieve and you know how to achieve it then add in a reward when reaching certain goals and that should keep you motivated.
Sleep: Make sure you get the right amount of sleep your body needs. Avoid coffee or alcohol last thing if possible. Take a bath and find a good book. With the right amount of sleep you are more productive and will cope better overall.
Exercise: The best way to start your day is with some exercise. I recommend a brisk walk or jog for thirty minutes and get your heart rate going. You’ll be surprised at how much more productive your day will be. The first ten days doing this will be hard but once you get into the habit, it will become easy and you’ll want to do it automatically.
Prepare: Always plan in advance and prepare yourself for the day ahead. If you fail to do this, you’ll end up creating more work in the long run and you’ll be far less productive. Have you ever noticed that some days you seem to get nothing done? That’s usually due to lack of preparation.
