Why the majority of women not coming to the workforce?

When I researched working women, I was surprised to see the labor force participation rate (LFPR) fell to 26% in 2018 from 36.7% in 2005.

There are several reasons for low LFPR among women.

Women are unwilling to take jobs due to high-stress levels, mainly work-life balance problems.

How to find a work-life balance?

Task management is an essential skill to be mastered if you want to learn how to balance work and life.

When we fail to master task management, then a feeling arises between career and family.

In Indian, when we tire of being a mom and an employee simultaneously, sacrifice work mom-guilt, compromise, and then the work-life balance will automatically come to the place.

Once we become mothers, all the exemplary achievements are only due to sincere hard work and dedication.

Most moms at work have never been taught how to balance work and life.

I think it’s like a flow through a river, without a distraction or nothing can stop the river from joining to sea or ocean. It’s a natural skill that The Lord gifted to women.

I have found that whether you work at home or outside of the house, work-life balance of any kind can be comprehensive! It’s purely hard work.

Now I would love to share my little tips so that you can find your balanced life beautifully.

1. Schedule your work life

If you work from home parent like me, this is essential for a balanced work-life.

Working outside, mom already has a scheduled time for a job, but their home spending time will be crucial.

For both hardworking moms, the block scheduling method is a brilliant one.

This block schedule breaks time into several blocks and sets the blocks with a specific task for its completion.

2. Avoid long commutes

The mothers’ most significant work turned to stress-related health issues, personal relationships, and family.

In India, public transport systems such as suburban trains and other means of transport are overcrowded.

So mothers have to speed as much time daily commuting between home and workplace.

Try to reduce your commute and prioritize it from a dream career or a high kind of income.

Learn to develop a mental boundary between home and work.

Transform from one stage to another, and don’t obsess about things at work while you are at home.

Learn to switch on and switch off from work and life vise versa.

3. Be productive with your time.

My favorite tip is that I can give to you about the block scheduling method, as I mentioned above.

You can’t expect to more productive overnight.

Tiny adjustments can lead to more lasting changes, but those may take time. 

I’m not an expert or perfect in productivity.

You know we are humans, the situation can change, but consistent and regular practice is the key to productivity success.

So be patient and generous through your situation and try again.

4. Talk with your family

Our biggest challenge is to balance the expectations of our family with our careers.

All of us want happy and fulfilling career lives, and we often have to make personal sacrifices to achieve our career goals.

If you are finding it very hard to balance work and family, then talk with your husband.

Get help! The most important thing you need.

There is no shame in getting help.

A little help from your husband is all that is required to make a difference in your life.

Teach your family to share responsibilities. Encourage your kids to do small chores, which makes them engaged!

It benefits them to aware of the early introduction of basic self-dependence.

Motivate your children to follow a routine. If they are done with all these tasks by a resemble hour, they can safely drive into a priority task.

5. Stay planned and organized.

The load that working mothers take on is a duty that no one can have.

You are the one in charge of all your family and household needs, staying on top of laundry loads, knowing what is in the fridge and pantry, creating a cleaning routine, etc.

Use planners, a checklist to keep with your never-ending to do’s. So that you get everything down and out of your brain.

Plan as much as possible so that nothing is left to the last minute.

There is no single solution to balance work and home.

The ability to prioritize will help you to find a better work-life balance. You can easily prioritize and plan if the decision and compromising you make today achieve your tomorrow’s goals.

6. Lower your expectations

There is a lot of pressure for moms because they have to cook healthy and delicious food daily, maintain a spotless house, etc.

When you lower your expectations, you will find much unnecessary stress, which can be eliminated.

Your house doesn’t need to be spotless every time; try to maintain essential cleanliness.

Buying store-bought food does not make you a bad mom. It’s fine!

Home-cooked food is the best for our family. Buying from outside at once or twice or leftovers doesn’t make yourself a bad mom and will also feed your family is just fine.

7. Find time for self-care

It’s crucial to find time for us and maintain inner peace and balance within the hectic environment of work and home life.

We always have a terrible habit of putting our own needs last first to take care of everyone.

But if you aren’t taking care of ourself, we can’t be able to take care of anyone else.

Every day, find a specific time that will allow you to recharge your mind. You can do exercise, reading, writing, gardening, talking with friends, or anything that gives you a positive sense.

If we can find the time and self-care, it helps us appreciate more, put things into position, and fade inner worries. These 5 Simple Self-Care Ideas for Busy Moms are amazing.

8. Just stop thinking and worrying.

It’s ok if you can’t be able to do all things together in position. We don’t want to be a perfect mom or perfect partner. There is nothing like ‘perfect’ in this world. 

Just try to do all the necessary things.

I always feel stress whenever I try to do it correctly. Just don’t do it.
