Are you working remotely for the first time? Juggling work and taking on extra roles of teacher and daycare provider? YOU’RE NOT ALONE!! Recognize that there is no model for how best to manage during a pandemic. We’ve entered into a period of unknowns. You can try to carve out time for work tasks, if your job requires working from home. Time blocks can increase productivity and still allow you to devote the time needed to care for or help your children with virtual learning, etc. Talk with your boss about what is realistic and expected, letting him/her know the circumstances at home which might hinder your ability to meet those expectations. Honesty and planning are the best first steps.
