Unhinged working mom tips
Hello fellow working moms. I’ve been offered a great opportunity that will require a longer commute (about 40 miles / 1 hr, ~4days per week) but a huge step in my career. I have a 10 month old and my husband and I are committed to making it work, but it will require a lot of planning and disciple.
My fun question for tonight for you - what are your most unhinged tips for making it all work? I am open to hearing literally anything. A few I’ve thought of so far:
- grocery delivery to work and “meal prep” at work (lean on easy to construct lunches like salads etc) - I will have dedicated time to eat lunch, and this would save me from packing and transporting daily
-networking time only in the car - I regularly have people that reach out and want to connect - setting these up for phone calls during commuting hours vs valuable in office time
-occasionally, stay overnight by work. Really a treat for me to not have to commute and to unwind, but also make a week here or there more bearable
-one early departure day - leave at 3pm, get my daughter at 3:45 and do a fun activity 1x per week
-laundry rotation - each day has an assigned laundry item (colors, whites, sheets, bathroom etc)
Looking for any ideas that might help make it work and keep me sane! Practical or unhinged, they’re all helpful!
