SUCCESS TIPS FOR WORK AT HOME MUMS
Mother, Baby & Child|January 2022
The pandemic has given rise to a work from home culture that can provide both benefits and downsides to mums. Let’s see if we can help to get the balance right!
SUCCESS TIPS FOR WORK AT HOME MUMS

An unexpected side effect of the pandemic was that it normalised the idea of mothers of young children working from home in professional roles. Pre-pandemic, eyebrows would have been raised if your company or a client could see a child playing in the background. Now, with Zoom calls becoming a normal way to have a meeting, and full acceptance of working from home, it is much easier for mothers to successfully work from home.

At the same time, you may find that you’re balancing work, parenting and homeschooling all at the same time, which can be tough and overwhelming. If you are feeling overwhelmed by playing multiple roles at once, that’s okay - and it’s definitely worth looking at ways to make it more structured and easier.

Before you do anything, take a moment to remember all the amazing things you’ve already accomplished as a person and a parent. You’ve already make so many complicated situations work and you have parented through the tough times of the pandemic at its height. So, remind yourself that you can balance working from home as a parent too! Sometimes a little perspective can help us manage things in a healthier way. Here are some other things to consider…

SET REALISTIC GOALS

If you’re working from home this year, and have young children in the home, keep realistic expectations about what you can actually get done in a day. Make a list of the most important things you NEED to do each day, followed by the things that you WANT to get done, and then things you would LIKE to get done IF you have time.
