A family coach can
help you reduce stress at home. Here are some
tried and true ideas that have worked for parents who
have had parent coaching with Susan. These tips
are especially designed for working at home parents with
school age children. Susan has worked from home for the
past 10 years while her children were between the ages
of 6 and 18.
Family Coach Tip #1
Make a schedule and stick
to it. Whether you work days, afternoons or
evenings let your family know your hours. You
cannot be successful at work or parenting if you are
always working. You might hang your schedule in
the kitchen or on the door to your office. My kids
knew I was working when my office door was closed.
Family Coach Tip #2
At the end of your workday,
turn off your computer, clean your desk and make a to do
list for tomorrow. These small steps help you to
walk away and enjoy time with your family.
Family Coach Tip #3
If your office also doubles
as family space, create boundaries for your files and
your things. If others are going to use your
“work” computer for homework and surfing, teach them to
create folders so everyone’s documents have a place to
be stored.
Family Coach Tip #4
Install a separate phone
line dedicated solely to your business. This will
keep unwanted interruptions from happening and a clear
line of communication open for you and your business.
Family Coach Tip #5
Enlist your school age
children to help with office tasks that they can handle.
When my daughter was 9 she stuffed and stamped envelopes
for me. When my son was 17 he created a mailing
list database for my business. Be sure and
compensate the kids and they will want to help and also
learn how important your work is to all your lives.
Family Coach Tip #6
If possible, create other
work spaces in your office, where your children can do
homework and projects while you catch up on your own
work. This may actually give you additional time
that you had not previously taken advantage of.
