Any way you slice it, Back-to-School is a sprint.
The extra load?! It’s real. And working mothers typically feel it extra hard.
And yet, there can be an unhelpful temptation the moment that back-to-school week is over…to immediately jump back into “real life”, without a moment to recover.
This will leave you spent. And contributes to burnout.
You might think “recovery” means preparing well for back-to-school. Reducing the load of back-to-school week itself. Promising yourself a vacation next spring as a reward.
And while none of these things are bad, they’re not exactly what’s required to recover.
You might think that taking any time at all to recover is precious time you don’t have.
But failing to plan a proper recovery can leave you operating in “survival mode” for months. Who has time for that?!
Let’s cut that whole process down to a week or two, shall we?
Whether your kids went back to school last week or last month, you’ll learn what you can do now to get your mojo back.
