Shownotes

There are 6 common mistakes that create stress and overwhelm for working moms during the holiday season. During this mini-series I will cover each mistake and teach you how to correct it. In today’s episode I dive into mistake #3: not deciding when you will work and when you will not. Without a clear commitment to NOT work, your brain is going to default to always being available and checking email in all the “in-between” moments. In today’s episode, I explain 3 steps to ensuring you only work during the times you planned.

Topics in this episode:

  1. Why deciding NOT to work is just as important as deciding when you will
  2. Your brain will remain in default work-mode unless you decide otherwise
  3. Decide ahead of time, when you will check email on your phone and when you will not
  4. What do you do when your brain really wants to work at time you don’t want to
  5. The crucial moment you either follow-through with your plan or you don’t
