Ensuring Quality Time for Work-from-Home Dads

Father is a well-known secondary caregiver and primary supporter of the family, and they play an essential role in building the family values at home.

Before, the father was the head of the family who provided food for the table. The era of equal opportunity for men and women changed the setting. Today's fathers have become more engaged parents. These days, many dads struggle juggling family and career as it becomes a challenge to make sure they have enough time for their family while achieving goals for the day. They adjusted to the work and family setup that became stronger due to the hit of the pandemic.

Being a dad can sometimes take a toll, especially on an extremely pressuring and busy schedule at work. But, there are ways you can still squeeze some quality time in there with the help of these lists:?

• Know what your priorities are?

Try to list down the things needed to be done for the day. Categorize by the highest priority to the least important task and follow through with that. Focus on what's more important, so time is not wasted. Managing time and workload can be quickly done with this.?

• A healthy body is a healthy mind.?

Doing exercise for a few minutes can help you gain more energy to have quality time with your family. Exercise is a natural stress reducer, and it helps one think clearly and deliver results.?

• You can say "no."?

When working from home, it's inevitable to have the kid/s constantly asking for things, whether going to someplace or getting something, and it's understandable to want to give in to their requests. Still, it's important to say no to them on occasion to set the limits and balance time and attention. To Dan Wager's words, "The resilience your children develop from such experiences lasts a lifetime, whereas the anger and upset they direct at you is only temporary."

• The family that eats together stays together!?

Studies have shown that one of the most beneficial things you to do for your family is to dedicate time to eat together, without electronic devices around.

• Make sure you put your undivided attention if it's family time

A father's time spent with his family is memorable. So it's essential to give your undivided attention to your family at these times because whether you do or not will affect how they will remember the moment.?

Of course, a father can do many more ways out there, and it still depends on which works best for them to achieve work-life balance. A father can wear many hats simultaneously, but their heart is always for the family.?
