SUMMARY:Agree with those who matter when work finishes this week
DESCRIPTION:Do not take work home at least 3 times a week.\nWhat do you mean you’re struggling\nat home, can’t you see I’m busy at work?\nBoundaries matter, but what boundaries do you have? And with whose\nagreement did you set them?\nOne realisation I had soon in to my self employment is that the family isn’t\nthere to enable me to go to work. If I don’t want to play up to stereotype and\nstigma, I also shouldn’t be seen as the sole breadwinner. My ambition and\ndrive might direct me to be the primary income generator but that doesn’t\nmean that role is superior to others in the household.\nToo often in the early days of working for myself I would expect everything to\nbe done at home because I’m busy. But I wasn’t effectively communicating\nthis nor particularly clear in why I was out late again and what it was achieving.\nI was missing bed times and meal times but was head down in attempting to\nbecome the breadwinner.\nIt was the realisation that during a particular week I hadn’t been home in time\nfor bed more than once, and I wasn’t busy doing anything too productive.\nI wanted to changed this and found it helpful to strike a balance through\nconversation with those at home about what good might look like in the next\nweek.\nWhen should work finish?\nCan I get to the school run three times this week?\nWhat work priorities do I have and do people at home know what and when\nI will be doing?\nStriking balance through agreement and expectation I found really beneficial\nhere. You can’t succeed in business by yourself. Nor can you succeed at\nhome or absolve yourself of responsibilities here either.\n
