How to Manage a Household and Business at the Same Time

Mother’s Day is not only a time to celebrate all the love and sacrifices mothers have made for their families, but it’s an opportunity for mothers to reflect on and celebrate their journeys in motherhood.

At Dropee, we’d like to take a moment to honour women who play a pivotal role in their homes and businesses. We understand that the stress that comes with the position can be paramount. In this article, we’ve listed four ways to assist mothers in finding a balance between work and family.

Plan ahead of time: Mothers must be clear on what matters for work and family commitments. They can use a planner to stay organised and on top of things that need their attention in the present and future, and they need to know that it’s okay to decline or postpone tasks that do not align with their priorities.

Delegate and outsource tasks: Whether it’s household chores or strategising your next business move, support is needed to avoid burnout.

Make time for self-care: Self-care is essential to managing stress because it is an inherent part of running a business and being a mother. Healthy meals, regular movements, and hobbies will do wonders for one’s health and well-being, setting them up for success.

Embrace technology: Go digital to make life easier. There is a wide array of technology made to reduce labour work and increase work efficiency. For example, business owners may easily manage stocks, track orders, monitor sales in real-time, and more with Dropee.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we want to remind all mothers that they are more than capable in all their pursuits, and it is possible to find success and joy in all areas of life. So, to all the working moms out there – we are rooting for you!
