A few months back I was
at a party, where my aunt asks me about my profession. But, alas! She did not
understand freelancing. So, I said… I work from home and submit my write-ups through Emails. She thought
I was joking and this cannot happen.
This is the most common
case in our country. Taking bags on your shoulder are the only way to tell that
you are a working woman. Lastly, she agrees with what I do. Now, her words are
little different… Oh! Then it must very thrilling. Her expression makes feel
about her excitement. I said “No”.
I need to balance my
work and family life even at home. It looks easy, but apart from a freelancer,
you need to know time management. Sometimes, your family also does not
understand that you are on work assignment on a daily basis. In today’s life, family
life is important to a woman as well as work life.
“We are late for the
dinner”, my mother said on her wedding anniversary. I agree with her and I was
busy that day with my assignments. That day, I thought to balance my work life
and family life.
Set work routine
Work routine will help
you complete your work on time. Fix the hours of your work and give a hint to
your family about your working hours. Therefore, nobody comes in and disturb
you.
Productive timing for
work
Many of you do not like
to spend the night hours in your assignments. So, you can choose few hours
during daytime. Be loyal to your working hours at home and complete your work.
Throw your stress
Do not panic when your
laundryman did not come to take clothes. You take a short of 10 minutes break
and meet your laundryman to give the clothes. This way, you can reduce your
tension.
Cooking time
Oh! Your mother-in-law
loves food that you cook. Then, use the flexible time for cooking. You will
remain fresh in mind and can cook well. These days, mother in laws are also
supportive and share your work ambiance with her. After all, she will not kill
you.
Guests
arrive
Do not become a boring
host for your guests. They come here to spend a few days with you and your
family. So, keep them busy and do not let them feel boring. You can discuss the
matter with your clients and even take fewer assignments to complete for a few
days. This way, you can keep of your both clients and guests happy.
Checking Emails
frequently
Stop checking your
Email when you are with family. This will hamper your family relationship. When
you are over with your working hours, you enter into the world of family. So,
be loyal to your relationships.
Beforehand planning
You are assigned to new
projects within stipulated time. Let your family members know about the time
limit to get more support. So, you do not feel guilty to your client and
family.
Outsource your work
The established
freelancer may outsource the work. You have to share some of your profit, but
you get more time with family. Experienced freelancer finds this opportunity
great and relaxing.
Balance your family and
work life without any fear. Happy Freelancing!
