7 rules for balancing family and professional life

Balancing family and professional life is not easy, as anyone who has tried it knows. Much has been written on this topic, and much more will surely be written. And that’s a good thing. I am always happy to read about it, learn something new or be reminded of something I often forget… I recently came across an old article from Newsweek. It turned out that what I forget most often is… ‘taking care of the chemistry’! What do you forget?

In its article entitled ‘7 ways to balance your career and family life’ (dated 10 August 2014), refers to an article by American colleagues from the monthly magazine ‘Success’, who, instead of referring to research results and statements by psychologists, described the life story of a married couple of journalists. Why them? Because they are quite good at combining raising children with their professional careers. What advice do they have for other parents?

Rule number 1 – Childcare

The journalists believe that it is crucial for parents to have someone who is always ready to take care of their children when necessary, whether it is for extra work or to spend time together.
