Thanks Bunny Studio for these tips!
1. Keep things flexible
If you
have the ability, consider getting creative with your work schedule to
base your hours around your kids’ schedules. Giving yourself the
flexibility to work differently during this time is crucial to
maintaining work-life balance.
2. Establish a kid-free zone
There
will be times when you need to hunker down and complete work items free
from distractions, which is why it is important to establish an area of
the house where you can separate yourself from your family.
3. Clearly communicate with your family
If
you have a partner who is also working from home and sharing kid duties
with you, it is crucial to communicate the times you can and cannot
help out during the day. Setting these expectations will allow for a
much smoother daily routine.
It
is also important to communicate with your children if they are old
enough. Set expectations for when there will be breaks in your day that
you can check-in, whether it be a quick snack break, lunch, or even
hourly check-ins.
4. Don’t overwork
During
this time, it can be easy to feel like we need to push ourselves to
work extra hours, but the reality is that taking the time to unplug and
reset each day is critical to success as a parent and an employee.
