Parenting and Careers: Finding More Time as a Working Mother

Parenting and Careers: Finding More Time as a Working Mother - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. As a busy working mom, you may find that you do not have enough time or energy in the day to get it all done. So, there are two things that you can work on and learn to carry as tools. One is to delegate. You can delegate to your husband or your partner, your friends, your co-workers, or your kids if they are old enough. Two is learn how to say "no", and this can be really hard for some women. To really say "no" and to let go of the guilt that goes along with that. In terms of saying "no", it is best done with a graceful sort of, neutral tone that, again, is not accusatory or does not make anyone else fell like they are on the defense, but really allows you to sort of, stand strong in who you are and say, "no, this is not my priority right now."
