1 Create a routine

Having a consistent schedule can help you and your children feel more organized and productive. Try to wake up, work, eat, and sleep at regular times. Set clear boundaries between your work and personal time. Communicate your availability and expectations to your employer, colleagues, and clients. Plan your tasks and prioritize the most important ones. Also, create a routine for your children that includes their schoolwork, playtime, and chores.

2 Designate a workspace

Finding a comfortable and quiet place to work can reduce distractions and stress. Ideally, you should have a separate room or area that you can use as your office. Equip it with the necessary tools and resources, such as a desk, chair, computer, phone, and internet connection. Make sure your family knows that you need privacy and respect when you are working. If possible, avoid working from your bedroom or couch, as this can affect your sleep quality and posture.

3 Take breaks

Working from home does not mean working all the time. You need to take regular breaks to refresh your mind and body. Step away from your screen and stretch, walk, meditate, or do some breathing exercises. You can also use your breaks to interact with your children, pets, or partner. Have some fun, play a game, read a book, or watch a show together. Taking breaks can boost your mood, energy, and creativity.

4 Stay connected

Working from home can make you feel isolated or lonely, especially if you are used to socializing with your coworkers or clients. To prevent this, you need to stay in touch with your professional and personal network. Use phone calls, video chats, emails, or social media to communicate with your colleagues, friends, and relatives. Share your challenges, achievements, and feelings. Ask for help or advice if you need it. Join online groups or communities that share your interests or goals.

I have needed to cope with kids being present during meetings. I have discovered that, with many connections are in the same situation, they are wonderful allies. I would let them know in advance of a meeting if there was a good chance I'd be interrupted by children, and offer an alternative (child-free) time, and I would say at the start of the meeting that I was at home with my children so they might drop in to say hello although I tried not to apologise for this. I found that my colleagues were welcoming of my children, waving at and making a comment to them so that their engagement rarely became problematic. It also helped some of my colleagues to act this way and reduce their own stress. And these connections became much stronger!

Texting and messaging your coworkers and other employees at work is your hallway conversation. It is not physical but it is digital. Use it to your advantage!

5 Practice self-care

Working from home with children can take a toll on your physical and mental health. You need to take care of yourself and your needs. Eat healthy, balanced meals and snacks. Drink plenty of water and limit your caffeine and alcohol intake. Get enough sleep and rest. Exercise regularly and do some activities that you enjoy. Seek professional help if you experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, or burnout. Remember that you are not alone and that you deserve support.

1- When you notice depression, anxiety, and stress acknowledge it. 2- Set your intention daily to flow in love, joy, peace, and compassion then practice it by hugging, loving, holding your cause of anxiety and depression as you count your blessings proactively. 3- You are in the universe and the universe is in you. You have access to so much energy in the universe to recharge yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally! 4- Use your access to such energy in the universe asking for help and support based on your set of belief. Open your heart to saturate yourself with unconditional love and compassion for your benefit. 5- It is your birth right to flow in love, joy, peace, and compassion. Claim it and use it proactively

6 Be flexible and realistic

Working from home with children is not easy and it may not always go as planned. You may face unexpected challenges, interruptions, or changes. You may not be able to complete all your tasks or meet all your deadlines. You may not be able to balance your work and family perfectly. Instead of stressing over these things, try to be flexible and realistic. Adapt to the situation and focus on what you can control. Accept that some days will be better than others. Celebrate your achievements and forgive your mistakes.

This piece is rather defensive and negative about working from home. I have found it to be a positive experience, that has significantly reduced my stress levels. My children go to different schools, and my husband travels, so it was a logistical puzzle to work out how to juggle things when only office-work was possible. I think that my focus on work was also lower because I was thinking one or two steps ahead, checking traffic or public transport situations to make sure that I would be on time. I appreciate that working from home, especially with kids, is not for everyone, and it has its challenges, but for some of us it frees us to contribute at a higher level. I would like to see more balance in how the situation is presented.

As a business owner who primarily works from a home office, I've discovered that establishing clear boundaries is paramount for a balanced work-from-home experience. It's highly effective to designate a dedicated workspace and openly communicate when focused work time is needed. Equally important is setting clear boundaries for family time, ensuring a healthy balance between professional responsibilities and personal life. This approach has been a game changer in maintaining productivity and a sense of accomplishment, while fostering wellbeing at home.
