Balancing having a family with advancing in your career can be difficult, especially when both are something you are passionate about. You only have so many hours in a day and so much attention to give, so it can be difficult to find a balance between doing work as expected and being a mother. Many mothers struggle to balance their careers with their life at home and find themselves stretched too thin. This is even more likely to be the case for those who do not like their careers or have a positive work environment to report to; if this is the case, you might speak with your employer about training from hsi.com that can boost morale in the office and make your workplace a more positive and accepting space for yourself and others. In the meantime, if you are struggling to find a balance between work and motherhood, here are 3 helpful tips from moms around the world.

Rely on a To-Do List
To avoid feeling overwhelmed by the thought of all the work that is lying ahead of you in the future, utilize a daily to-do list to help organize all of your tasks. Once you have everything you need to do written out on paper, you can more easily prioritize tasks and determine the time frame in which you will complete them, without worrying about forgetting anything.

Get Outside Help
While you might feel pressure to do everything around the house to ensure it’s done correctly, sometimes when you’re busy with work or extra tasks around the house, it just isn’t possible. Identify areas where you can outsource help, and splurge on services that will make things easier, like grocery delivery or shopping online for any items you need to buy so you don’t have to fit running errands into your tight schedule.

Set Boundaries
To help you stay fully present during precious time with family, set boundaries with your employer and coworker and be honest with them about how much work you are willing to do outside of the office or on certain days when you are more likely to be busy with family commitments. Stick to a schedule of consistent, designated hours both in and out of the office, and keep your mind from thinking about work outside of those hours, when it’s time to be with family. Stay fully present and soak in the little moments, because you will always have a job, but your children won’t stay little forever!
