juggle

I know it’s 2020 but I’ve lost track of what day, week, month or season it is. It feels like we’ve been in lockdown for a year.

If you don’t come out of quarantine with a new skill, starting what you’ve been putting off or more knowledge, you didn’t lack time, you lacked discipline.

It’s hard work being a “working mum”. We have to be organised, deal with guilt, be successful at work, nurture family and the list goes on…. I quit.

But working mothers report more stress and tension than working fathers, as this snapshot of 6000 working parents by Parents At Work finds.

What’s the impact of competing priorities on our work/life? And do men or women cope better with the emotional impact of the juggle?

Scaling a start-up, you need to be prepared for years of perseverance and set-backs, plus have grit and sheer determination in spades, to succeed.

Having it all. This year I turned 28, and for the first time ever, big decisions started to loom ominously over my head: baby or career?
