Time saving Tips for Working Mothers 

 

Communicate With Your Husband:
It is important that you communicate with your husband about sharing household and domestic chores. This should not be a difficult process as your income also helps pay the bills and your husband must be a team player. A high priority should be the area of the children’s well being and study supervision.
Time Management:
Time management is very important.You should draw up a weekly chart to manage your time.Take into account your children’s tests, extra curricular activities, household shopping needs.Remember to get the active involvement of your husband.
Getting External Help:
If you and your husband have busy schedules, it is also good to source out for part-time external help to assist in the cleaning and cooking. Alternatively, you can seek the help of your parents to supervise the welfare of the children or register your children to a nearby student care centre. However, it must be remembered that no amount of external help can substitute for quality time with your children. Try to set aside at least the weekends to spend undisturbed time with your family.
Concentrating At Work:
Since you are working for a company, you must ensure that your full concentration should be on your work. Do not use company time to handle domestic administration.You are also entitled to take emergency time off if needed so it is crucial that you keep your superiors informed.
Working Long Hours:
It is not uncommon to work long hours, as workers are sometimes required to multitask.It is important for you to strike a balance and important to inform your husband about your late hours so that your children are not neglected after their normal school hours.You can also request to finish some of your work at home if it requires computer processing.Most families have at least a computer desktop at home.
Interaction with Male Colleagues:
If the nature of your job requires constant interaction with male colleagues after working hours, it is good practice to inform your husband. You can easily send an SMS to him to inform your whereabouts and he can arrange to fetch you home.
Attendance of Official Functions:
Inform your husband in advance if you are required to attend an official function Office D & D etc. This will allow your husband to get to know your working colleagues and fully appreciate your job responsibilities. Your husband will also be more cooperative if you are required to work beyond the normal hours.
Further Studies:
