Have a great day hivers! Today was a very nice opportunity to share to you this special topic which is the new challenge in the aseanhive community about balancing life and work. Now I have the opportunity to tell you my daily routine as a full time working mom.
I usually wake up at 5 am then I do my everyday exercise. I believe if I wake up early I can do lots of things. I am an ESL teacher and from 5 am to 7 am I faced my laptop for a class.
Then after my class I rushed to the kitchen to cook something for breakfast. After preparing the food, I'll wake up my 2 kids 2 year old boy and 3 year old girl and my husband for breakfast. After breakfast my husband will go to work and I'll be alone at home doing all the household chores. From washing the dishes, washing clothes, mopping the floor and sweeping the yard. I also have to water my plants in my garden. Then I take my 2 kids for a bath. Then there comes the lunch time, I'll cook again for lunch and we eat together. After that it would take me an hour to let my kids sleep.
Then when they sleep sometimes I wanted to sleep too to get some rest so I lay down in bed and scroll on social media platforms. Also this is my best time to engage in hive. I took an hour to engage to so many beautiful blogs here.
After 2 hours, my kids will be then awake so I take them out to play outside our house. Since they were outside I'll clean the living area and keep all the things they've been scattering.I also have to wash our windows outside. Then I prepare a dinner. I always target that it should be 5pm or 6pm we are done eating dinner. After that I'll allow them to use cellphone so I can work on my another side hustle. Then by 7 or 8 pm my husband arrives at home and they will sleep together and me, I'm going to conduct lessons again in my ESL job until 10pm. By 10 pm onwards that is our free time with my husband. We always play mobile games like mobile legends. Then we had small talk or beer sometimes then when we got tired we go to sleep.
This is my typical routine everyday and I am proud to say I have a work and life balance. I had able to do my job as a wife, mom, a free lancer giving my very best efforts to make them happy.
On the weekends I used to work throughout the day because my husband will prepare everything but if there's no internet connection then we will go to the beach and stay there for 4-5 hours.
Having a balance in terms of work, life and personal time is matter of choice. Sometimes I could say I don't have free time but when I decided to take down notes of the things I need to accomplish everyday that's the time I was able to manage everything.
That's all for today hivers. I hope you have a balance work and life routines too. God bless! And stay safe!
Love,
