In every unfavourable situation there is something we can always do.
I am certain with my today's share many mother's of the young kids would be able to relate
Situation :
Important client meetings planned up, the calendar looks packed (as like to plan days in advance and had planned to match up with kids SCHEDULE)
difficult to get an alternative date
Elder kid's drama stage rehearsal today
Spouse travelling
Part time helper on leave
Younger kid has fever & has become very cranky
Extended family in homecountry
So what to do
1 Do not get bogged down
2 Accept it & look at the alternatives
3 Relook at the calendar & prioritise, try to outsource, delegate as appropriate
- Explore the technology, opt for Skype meeting
5 Email the meeting points in advance & keep them in loop about your situation, it's not unprofessional rather being appreciative
6 Seek out for help, ask for help from friends, neighbours and elder sibling
7 At the end just pat you self after each accomplished task, don't doubt/overjudge self
The key is to make optimum use of the resources available. Especially as the working mothers one can't leave things assignment for the last minute need to plan for contingency.
Just keep moving, as I am today.
Blessed Thursday!
