[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Share your secrets, please, because I am drowning. I delegate and outsource as much as possible, but I am literally DROWNING. My life has gotten so out of control that I can't remember basic things and I never see my children. A few nights ago I had a dream that I was having a heart attack and dying. I can't take the stress anymore of being pulled in a million different directions.[/quote] When multi-tasking, separate home from work as much as possible. So, for example, when catching up on calls, don't do this while prepping for the kids. You can use your prep time to spend chatting with the children, not while doing any form of work. I used to try and mix work emails with laundry (as a random example) and I'd end up frustrated because switching between these parts of my life (and brain!) was so draining and difficult. I now combine work with work and home with home. It's easier not having to transition. [/quote]
