As mums we want to work at the best we can given the circumstances, and with children potentially running the home through the summer holidays, children off sick, coupled with a heap of responsibilities parents have, work can seem like the worst of it.
However, it doesn’t have to, with this guide from this company that specialises in leased printers in London.
Set realistic goals
Throughout the day, especially if your children are at home, you may encounter a few hiccups. They might be known to interrupt your morning video call for one! With this in mind aim to only do what you can do in the set hours of the day. Break these into manageable chunks as you navigate the day and learn to be strict with yourself when you do this. Aim to only work through the tasks you have said you work on in the day.
Break down each goal in your to-do list
Having a number of smaller tasks that lead to a bigger overall task being completed will make you feel much more motivated when you break them down. Each little step often contributes to an overall goal, as well as you feeling like you’ve done a lot more work during your shift than if you only look like you completed one or two tasks.
Be strict with yourself
Once you’ve completed your work for the day we strongly recommend turning off the computer and separating yourself from work when the day’s over. It’s often tempting to feel like you haven’t done enough in the day, but it’s key to stick to your guns and know what you can work towards across the week.
Stretch after you complete a task
Most tasks can take between 30 minutes to an hour to work on. This is the perfect time to add breaks into your day to ensure you fully stretch throughout your day. Muscles tend to shorten when you sit in a chair for long periods of time and is good for your back to have regular stretches added across your day.
