Summary

Stop juggling; start managing everything you need to do at home and at work.

Description

Stop juggling; start managing everything you need to do at home and at work.

It used to be simple: stay late, turn in flawless work, catch up on sleep later. You needed that mindset to get where you are, but that's not going to cut it anymore. You need to make different choices to succeed at work, as a parent, and as a family member.

Getting It All Done can't teach you how to be in two places at once, but it provides you with expert advice as you manage the challenge of succeeding at work while making sure your family is housed, fed, healthy, safe, and educated. You'll learn to:

Set up schedules and routines that work
Spend your time and energy on the most valuable activities
Set reasonable expectations and limits in the always-on culture
Keep exercising your management skills once you've left the office
Move on with resilience when you occasionally drop the ball
Embody the work and life values you believe in for your children

The HBR Working Parents Series supports readers as they anticipate challenges, learn how to advocate for themselves more effectively, juggle their impossible schedules, and find fulfilment at home and at work. From classic issues such as work-life balance and making time for yourself to thorny challenges such as managing an urgent family crisis and the impact of parenting on your career, this series features the practical tips, strategies, and research you need to be - and feel - more effective at home and at work. Whether you're up with a newborn or touring universities with your teen, we've got what you need to make working parenthood work for you.
