Is Your Chaotic Home Affecting Your Work Performance?
These 5 simple habits can dramatically reduce stress at home and set you up for success at work.
Is your chaotic, disorganized home life causing you stress and overwhelm at work?
I used to be one of those annoying people who always looked busy.
Back in my days as a medical malpractice paralegal, my colleagues would stop by my office, catch me knee deep in medical records and say, “Wow, looks like you’re busy.”
And often I was.
Law practices thrive when their Partners, Associate Attorneys and Paralegals have just enough on their plates to make sure they’re never truly caught up. That’s just the nature of the beast.
But, if I’m honest, sometimes I wasn’t busy per se. I was just overwhelmed.
Not necessarily overwhelmed by my caseload, but with everything else in my life that I let fall to the wayside while I focused on learning and excelling in my field.
I’m talking the laundry, the dishes, the mail, the kids’ school papers — all the things that like to reproduce the minute we turn our backs.
Unfortunately, when our home life is crazy, the anxiety and stress show up in our work.
