If we’ve learned anything in 2020 it’s… Working at home is hard! Working from home with children, especially small children, is a task all of its own! These are my top 5 simple tips for parents working from home. Whether you are an entrepreneur or working remotely, a parent or single, these tips will help you feel motivated, organized and accomplished.
My 5 WFH Tips
- Wake up early
- Get dressed (yoga pants allowed!)
- Get a work space
- Make a schedule (listen for my schedule hacks)
- Block your work time (40 minutes with no distractions, 10 minute break)
Here’s the book I mentioned in the video:

January 11, 2021This site is replete with everyday practical tips and resources for the working mom, but the ‘feel’ is warm and engaging, like sitting at a garden table across from a friend, who is sharing them with you. So easy to scan and find relevant content. Look forward to more.

I’d make one (small) change…
Get showered & dressed.
I find “pretending” like you’re leaving for the office (even if you put your yoga pants back on) makes me more productive.
Yes I am one of those that does business on top & “no I shouldn’t wear that to the office” on the bottom.
(Slippers that is ??)

June 9, 2021Yes! The video does mention getting dressed. I agree that in the thick of COVID it helped me tremendously when I started getting up and getting ready in the morning, even though it was just to go downstairs! I am also all about the “business mullet”, slippers included.
