Working from home isn’t easy when you AREN’T a mom, but when you add MOM to the mix… it is a whole new juggle.
It requires a special level of patience, an ability to compartmentalize and don’t forget – you must become a master at organization. (do as I say….not as I do…. Just ask my husband! he is still waiting for me to master organization!)
Also: make sure to sit down with your family before you begin your work-at-home journey. It is best for both YOU and your family (your significant other and your children) to understand how this is going to work and what to expect. The fewer surprises along the way, the better for everyone involved!
Aliza and I talked about this in Mom, Incorporated and I was delighted to join one of my favorite anchors, Virginia Kerr, on Great Day St. Louis (KMOV) this morning to talk about tips to creating that Home Office Space and truly creating a room of your own.
