Today is Mother’s Day. SUNDAY PIONEER brings you ways to honour the great moms

Women are inherent torch bearers of hard work, perseverance and success. Being committed fully to work and family is an impossible task that many working mothers and mompreneurs diligently pursue.

To sustain a fulfilling career while taking an active role as a mother, is a daunting task. But it can be rewarding if we strike a tender balance that works beautifully.

• Value quality over quantity: Create memorable and cherished moments with your family. Make sure to have a thirty-minute gadget free routine to talk and have meaningful activities with your family. Go for an evening walk together or watch your favourite TV show together. But communication is important and make sure you nurture this bond.
• Use meticulous planning: Mothers juggle many tasks at once and planning meticulously like ordering groceries whilst on a luncheon break or scheduling conference calls during the commute.

Deciding and planning work schedules well in advance through a weekly calendar saves a lot of precious time.

• Stick to flexible work culture: Many working mothers prove to be committed workers and  prefer sticking to organisations that promise them flexible work cultures. Many organisations understand and appreciate transparency and dedication and craft flexible work routines.

Another time saving hack is to use planners and apps, whether it be outsourcing  your chores or adding events to a shared calendar .There are many like Grofers, UrbanClap, Google Keep to help out on daily routines.

• Have a regular one-on-one with your partner: It is important to have regular communication with your partner and ensuring that you as a couple go on a Date Nights to spend time with each other as these gestures ensure a healthy relationship and that makes for a happier you.

The most important thing is to let go of the guilt. It is important to have the courage of conviction in knowing and appreciating the joy about whatever you love to do. A happy mommy sure makes for a happy family.
