WORK + FAMILY = LIFE

Prioritising is definitely a skill to master. Which one comes first, family or work. Many people believe one complement the other. You work to make a living for supporting the family or yourself. Well, most people do. I believe I do.

However, you'll be surprised to learn that is not always the case. I sure wish that if I was given the luxury of not making my own living to support my family and spends my entire day taking care of them. But to think again, not a chance. Not that I would not sacrifice my career over my children, just that I'm not the full-time housewife/ mother type. I salute them for dedicating their entire life for their children and family.

I confess that I might be just a little selfish to have it all. I do love my children and I want to spend quality time with them despite my hectic schedule. Well I can tell you it not not an easy task.The key is balancing these two axis and setting your priorities. When ever possible starts planning ahead. Keep to your rutin and schedule.

If something clashes for example an important office meeting with your child talent contest at school choose either one but be sure not to repeat the same choice next time. If you finished your work on time after work hour do not be afraid to leave the office before you boss do. It is not your job to lock the office door! Unless it is what you do.

Another thing, just like it is compulsory to attend certain office event, make an effort to do the same with day family - A Compulsory Family Day - your spouse might not appreciate but your kids will certainly do!
