Harvard's HBR Today’s Tip A Weekly Exercise for Working Parents As a working parent, it can be difficult to juggle competing responsibilities throughout the workweek. This simple exercise can help you keep your schedule under control.   Start by creating a centralized calendar where you keep track of key family- and work-related commitments. If you have a partner or co-parent, share it with them, and build a habit of proactively updating it throughout the week.    Then, set aside 20 minutes at the end of the weekend to preview the following week. Go over your calendar and update it with any important events that you may have forgotten to add during the previous week.   Once your calendar is filled up, review it item-by-item to identify the biggest priorities. Then start planning. Who is responsible for what? What needs to be moved around or rescheduled? What decisions (like meal-planning) can be made in advance? And finally, what commitments require a back-up plan? This tip is adapted from “Working Parents, Plan for the Week with This Simple Exercise,” by Avni Patel Thompson

The main difficulty that working parents face is finding the right balance between their professional responsibilities and their family obligations. Constantly trying to prioritize both areas of life without feeling guilty or neglecting one over the other. This constant juggling act requires careful time management, prioritization, and effective communication with both employers and family members. #worklifebalance

As a consultant working from home with young children, I know firsthand that balancing work and family life can be challenging. That's why I'm sharing my top 5 organization tips to ensure my work is completed to the highest standard, on time, and without sacrificing family time. 1. Plan your week in advance, including all responsibilities, and plug them into a schedule. 2. Guard blocks of available time, like nap times, to complete tasks that require focus and attention. 3. Keep a running list of work tasks and plug them into your schedule. 4. Silence all notifications during work blocks to avoid distractions. 5. Keep a summary of completed work tasks for reference in the next block of time. I like to use Microsoft One Note for this purpose where I create a notebook for each client and subsections for each case. Working from home with kids can be a challenge, but with these organization tips, you can increase productivity and balance work and family life.
