Boundaries, Balance & Chaos - How To Manage Your Workload

In this inbetween-a-sode of the Parentpreneur Podcast, Michael covers the importance and difficulties of finding a balance between work and family life. In this short episode he shares five top tips that can help you achieve maximum productivity at work and have a happier, healthier and more meaningful family life.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Michael’s first tip is to schedule family time as you would a business meeting. Put it in your diary, make it important and give that time your full attention.   Just as important as scheduling family time is scheduling work time. Michael talks about the importance of setting strict working hours and sticking to them, especially if you’re working from home.  Self care is the single most important thing you can do. Michale talks about the importance of looking after yourself and having fun, and how, as a result, your work and family life will improve because of it.  Being a parent is, in most cases, a partnership. Michael talks about having open communication with your partner about who does what when it comes to the children.
