The summer holidays bring their own distinct set of challenges to the lives of mumpreneurs everywhere! Suddenly you have lots more things to squeeze into your schedule, leaving you feeling overloaded and wrung out! Here are some great tips to help you enjoy your children and work, whilst making time for much-needed fun!

Plan Of Action Always schedule your time so you and your children will know when you are working. During these scheduled hours, try to remain focused and get as much work as possible done. Incentivise yourself by promising the family a fun treat if you manage to meet or beat your deadlines.

Ask For Help Full-time childcare throughout the holidays can be costly, especially if you’ve more than one child. Ask others for help. Many people call on grandparents but you could always set up mutual play dates with friends.

Prioritise Be realistic about the work that needs to be done over tasks that can wait. Don’t try to incorporate housework into your working schedule. Keep this separate and do it when the kids have gone to bed. Maximise your time at work by remaining focused. Balance this time with that spent with your children, ensuring the fun you have motivates you in all aspects of your life.

Outsource Outsourcing some aspects of your work provides extensive benefits. Enlisting the help of a professional to support some of your admin work will reduce the amount of work you have to do. Of course there will be a fee but it might be worth the investment if you get to spend more time with your family.

Quality Time When you’re not working, ensure you’re always spending quality time with your children. Forget about the household chores and go have fun as a family! A walk in the park, a shared book or a cycle ride are all great ways to interact with your children.
