Safia told us all about her company The Mum Hub which she founded in Lockdown, her family and what else she has done and is doing in her career. We also discussed:
Time management for parents and the common things parents experience for example feeling they are having to be in too many places at once!
Having a to do list / a priority list and putting things on paper. E.g. what are the top 3 things that I have to focus on?
Planning and not feeling like you have to ‘do it all’. Lowering expectations of yourself.
Walking pads!
Some techniques / tools to help manage time as well as setting boundaries - how available you make yourself / the ways you can be contacted.
How often it isn’t as bad as you thought it might be – having some perspective.
Teaching our children about how to manage their time and the myriad of notifications that are thrown at them on a daily basis.
Things we can do to help organise (and how it’s important to be able to trust others with tasks and preparation to help spread the load!).
Carving out time for yourself – how important it is, but how it can also lead to guilt.
Safia’s tips for how to cope when you are feeling overwhelmed.
