Balancing Home-Life Issues with Work Duties
In the Wall St. Journal CareerJournal article entitled How to Balance Home-Life issues With Work Duties" (may require fee to access), writer Erin White has these suggestions for working professionals who are hit with a personal issue such as an illness of a parent where you are suddenly responsible for their care or perhaps something positive but equally stressful such as planning your own wedding:
1. Plan, organize and compartmentalize ("hyperorganize") your day. The more you do so with your daily tasks, the more quickly you will be able to accomplish them. At the end of each day you may want to write down what you want to accomplish tomorrow.
2. Segment your day into times when you are solely focused on work and solely focused on personal issues. Try to not let one intrude on the other.
3. If you think a personal issue is going to affect your job or require time to take care of things then make sure to let your boss know. Develop a plan on how your job will get done and share it with them.
