Keep everything in your office clean and tidy and have all your supplies readily available. When it comes to the children, make sure you have a calendar set up so you will not miss any important dates or events or find yourself scrambling at the last minute.
Have A Plan In Place
Some working entrepreneur moms use a traditional calendar or planner to keep their schedules in check, while others take advantage of apps and gadgets. Add both work and personal appointments and events to the same calendar so you do not end up overbooking or missing something entirely.
Work With Family
If you find yourself drowning in tasks, go ahead and ask for help. People will not immediately know you need assistance unless you reach out to them. Get help from other family members or your partner when things become overwhelming. You need to work together to stay on the same page and stabilize your work and home life.
