What are some things you do to maintain a work and life balance? When you have a family is there a chance for both partners to split up the responsibilities in the home. There should be two people helping out around the house and with the children so that one person is not caring all the responsibility. Some quick tips and tricks to make your life easier would be to have premade meals or buy meals that are quick and easy to make. Another trick would be to have a calendar or white board in your kitchen so you can map out the family’s appointments and activities on it. Make sure you add fun downtime activities to the calendar so that they get scheduled in as well. Having the children as they get older pitch in with the chores would teach them responsibility as well as help lighten the load. Remote employment opportunities where you can work from home will make life a bit easier as well. Those remove employment opportunities will save on dry cleaning bills, commute time, gas and allow you to be there if you have children. A home business is also another great opportunity because it allows you to work from home as well and provides the flexibility in your hours.

Trying each week to schedule down time will allow you to have a good work and life balance. Carpooling with other parents to school events will help out as well. Setting aside certain days for certain activities in your week to maximize your time will help. Make a list of priorities such as laundry, grocery shopping, errands, children’s activities etc. and make a time block for each on your calendar or white board to maximize your time.
