Summertime might bring certain challenges for working mothers who need to deal with children at home as well as their professional life. Planning ahead, sticking to a work-life ratio, and considering how to approach hybrid work are some of the expert-recommended solutions to reduce burnout and elevated stress levels.<\/em><\/p>\n

July 4, 2022.<\/p>\n

53%<\/a> of women report increased levels of stress while 46% admit feeling burned out in their workplaces. Given that many working women, who are also mothers, are expected to juggle professional and family lives in the same capacity, the summertime might prove to be even more challenging because of the school holidays.<\/p>\n

Diana Bla\u017eaitien\u0117, a remote work expert and founder of Soprana Personnel International, which is a recruitment and personnel rent solutions agency, says there are ways for women to manage their family and professional time during the summer and reduce the strain on their mental health.<\/p>\n

Planning beforehand to foresee the potential bottlenecks<\/strong><\/p>\n

The expert urges start planning the school holidays in advance to hold off the stress that comes from dealing with out-of-school children during the business week.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanning the time down to the smallest details\u2014meals, activities, play dates, important phone numbers, emergency contacts\u2014offers assurance that all parts of the day are taken care of. The calendar or agenda can be placed somewhere the entire family can see and refer to it, \u201d Ms. Bla\u017eaitien\u0117 said. \u201cBut at the same time, the plan does not have to be overcrowded with activities\u2014one important task per day is enough to not let the stress get the better of women.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Bla\u017eaitien\u0117 recommends sharing the agenda with the family members, especially children, and making them allies during the summer holidays. \u201cIf the children know about their daily schedule and what is expected of them, they might feel a stronger sense of duty, and will therefore be more willing to help out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The need to establish hybrid work rules<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flexible remote work might not be an option for working mothers as in some cases it might mean they are missing out<\/a> on significant professional growth opportunities. At the same time, they might feel that they are putting in more effort at work while taking up more responsibilities at home. While switching back to full on-site work might not be possible with children staying at school in the summer, Ms. Bla\u017eaitien\u0117 believes certain rules must be established to avoid overworking.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking at home does not mean that a person needs to complete all household tasks at the same time. On the contrary, working mothers should stick to a strict work and rest ratio and complete work tasks only during business hours instead of doing the chores all day and working late at night when everyone\u2019s asleep,\u201d the expert weighed in. \u201cOvertime might further boost stress levels and burnout, so my advice would be to monitor the hours worked and not exceed the required limit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quality leisure time\u2014a priority in reducing burnout<\/strong><\/p>\n

While summer\u2019s not all about rest for working adults, quality leisure time is a must no matter the age, Ms. Bla\u017eaitien\u0117 claims. \u201cThis is where diligent time planning pays off\u2014scheduling quality time for themselves only might help working mothers to strike that work-life balance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The expert suggests women with children allocate early mornings or late evenings only for themselves and do something that means quality free time to them\u2014this helps them to recharge and avoid feeling that their whole energy goes to childcare, domestic chores, and work projects.<\/p>\n
