Consistent and clear boundaries will train others in your family to respect.

A clear divide between work and life makes most of the time to help your children understand their place in your working environment and your adequate working time. 

Train your family to understand that being at home doesn’t mean that you’re available. Set guidelines such as don’t interrupt unless it’s urgent, don’t touch any office equipment, and keep noise levels down during work hours.

Create a personal work schedule and develop your self-discipline muscles. You may need more structure when you’re at the office.

Take your calendar and assign specific tasks to specific blocks. Reward yourself when you stay on top of it.

Completion of every task is a significant achievement for us as busy working moms.

Whenever possible, stay focused on each job.

Don’t get confused. Whether it’s home or work-related, wait until you finish it.

Always remember that every today or tonight is followed by tomorrow. So take a breath or a break to come back in total energy.

Create a weekly schedule for studying, homework, and related follow-up. Then, reserve one or two days on the same plan for fun and hanging out only, without stress.

Work hard to be rewarded; this will motivate our kids in their studies and us because reward in coming by the weekend.

Extra tips

1. Fold laundry straight out of the dryer rather than leaving it in baskets for later.
2. During the school year, empty and repack backpacks for the next day every afternoon.
3. Practice the touch-it-once rule rather than shuffling clutter around to be dealt with later.

Success comes with a good plan.

Getting more done in advance is a good mindset for breaking down complex things or tasks. 

The more you commit to getting things done early rather than under the wire, the more convinced I am that this is the most important thing I can do as a work-at-home mom. We can’t control so many things on a day-to-day basis, but we can get things done ahead of time to have the time and energy to handle the unexpected!

Create a system in your routine which you can start regularly doing. The more you do, the more you see success.

As I always say, there is no perfect thing, and we are not perfect. We follow and do the best things.

Finally, you should remember the truth that ‘success brings more success.

The more you do things in advance and the more successful you are!

I hope that these tips and ideas can change your life.
