Effective Work-life Organization For An Employed Mother

By: Mehnaz Doctor Home | Business | Careers-Employment


Juggling between more than two jobs is a difficult task but not impossible. For those women who are not strong headed, it is very essential, they prioritize their activities. In order to have a stable, organized and systematic work-life, it is very necessary to list down the details of people, places and events which would demand their time.

While changing gears from being a mom to being an employee, a woman should not experience any kind of â€mother guilt’. Though you belong to both the places, it is very important to keep both work and home separate. When at work, a mother should exude confidence in all the official meetings. This is ensured only if you have supportive family and friends who would be ready to take care of your children. If there is a need, then you should ensure that you have some domestic help for the household chores. But once at work, you should be able to give 100% attention to work. The organization, employer, colleagues and sub-ordinates should not feel that your mind is occupied by innumerable things related to your personal life. This, otherwise, can adversely affect your career.

When you don the mantle of an employee, work can be made less complicated if the employers are timely informed about your personal commitments and drawbacks. For example, if you have to pick up your children at 6 in the evening from classes, the organization should not unknowingly arrange a meeting at the same time. Moreover, you can make use of the sick days for your children. One can always trade off with your spouse to divide the total work between two people. This way you will not even end up complaining about your spouse.

When you have given stipulated time to work, a mother needs to be sure she gives enough time to her children, too, especially in their growing years. She should shell out some time for the parent teacher meetings, celebrations of different occasions or even for vacations. Some important tips that can prevent you from facing any disaster are those of maintaining a calendar which mentions the official and personal engagements. This will help you estimate the time that you have in your hands for other tasks like socializing or shopping. It is best to use the modern technology to be able to fulfill the duties of a mother and wife at home. Because you have chosen to tread the difficult path, you must be determined that you leave no stone unturned to make your work-life effective. However, you should ensure that you put in the correct hours for different kind of commitments.

Mobile becomes a handy device to store all the important events. Some websites like Sendible.com help send timely greetings to your friends and families on special occasions, leaving you without any hassle of memorizing the dates. In case of emergency situations, as a mother you should note down the contact details, numbers and procedures which are accessible to all at home. And you should also make sure you have them available in office hours in your mobile or computer. Definitely, the advanced technology will help you take a sigh of relief and relax.

A woman with children, parents and in-laws is bound to play multiple roles. However, in order to win the insurmountable challenge, it would be highly appreciated if she gets some moral support from her immediate circle of relatives which would act as a motivation for her. Thus, if given a chance it is not at all difficult managing the dual roles of a great mom and a valuable employee.
