Make a Commitment to Shut Your Office Door
Like most moms I greet the new school year with mixed emotions. I’m eager to get back into a work and self-care routine now that school’s begun but will miss the baseball games, late night ice cream runs and more relaxed days.
My latest ezine had an article on this transition entitled, “Metromoms–Fall is the Perfect Time to Refocus and Prioritize.” One of the tips I share is to make a commitment to your office hours and stick to it. At your determined time, shut your office door and turn off your computer so you’re not distracted to check “one more email”. Allow yourself to enjoy the other activities in your life.
As my youngest child goes off to kindergarten, this is my first year where all three of my children get on and off the bus together at the same time. With a real chunk of uninterrupted “mom-time” during the day, I’m making the commitment, after my kids get off the bus, to shut my office door, turn off my computer and leave the work day behind.
