It could be worse for some who run multiple businesses or hold principle roles in their workplace. Sometimes, finding yourself in such a situation could be overwhelming and you just feel there is nothing much you can do help yourself out. With the high rate of unemployment and loss of job, some devote most or all of their time to their jobs; having little or no time for family.
Some may even say it is impossible to create balance between work, family and fun. Today, we tell you that it is possible and you can do it at any level you may find yourself in your business or workplace. Parenting doesn’t have to cost you your career, family or social life. All you need is to understand the secret to effective time management.
Effective management is the ability to gain much from a short period of time. It follows the principle of doing much with so little. Working with this, parents need to understand that it is not the number of hours that is spent with family that matters most but the quality of things done and experience shared that matters most. As a parent, you need to understand that your child would rather have you take them to a cinema or play video games with them during your free time than buy them the most expensive gifts to make up for not having time to spend with them.
Parents need to understand that kids are smarter these days. In case you don’t know, they are aware that you have a busy schedule and need to work hard for the family. But one thing they will never understand is why you cannot dedicate even a minute to read a bedtime story to them or help with their school works. No, no matter how smart they could ever be, that concept will always remain strange to them. So, instead of letting your child feel less loved or less important than your work, begin to spend every quality time with them now because a time will come when they may not have that time to give to you.
