1. Have a game plan:
It's a lot easier to get things done when you have a plan
for your day. This way there are no surprises and kids
thrive on a routine. Also, remember to keep your routine
flexible and don't stress if you are behind. Just take
things a step at a time. :)
2. Goodie Boxes:
These can really come in handy when you need quiet time for
a phone call or a project, Make up a special box with toys,
simple crafts, and anything that your kids enjoy that they
can do quietly with minimal supervision. Only bring these
boxes out for your "quiet times" that way your children will
look forward to them instead of dreading your attention not
being on them.
3.Stay organized:
Organization is KEY to running a business from home. Make
files for your papers and keep a calender updated with
deadlines and appointments. Make "To Do" list every evening
for things you need to get done the next day. This will
eliminate much of the stress of trying to remember what
needs to be done while juggling family and work at the same
time.
4. Give your kids individual attention each day:
Set a time to do something fun with each child (or all
together if needed). Give them your undivided attention
during this time. Don't accept any phone calls or work. This
special mommy time makes it easier for your kids to deal
with not having mommy's full attention at times you need to
be working.
