Transitioning from Working from Home to After School

For Heather, transitioning from a working mindset to a mom mindset can be challenging since there is no longer a commute between the office and after school care. It is not advisable to mix work and childcare, as it can lead to inefficiency and frustration. Consider reinstating aftercare to maintain a clear boundary between work and personal responsibilities. If that is not possible, establish a definitive shutdown at the end of your workday, even if there has been a hazy boundary throughout. Engaging in a different activity, such as exercise, can help signal the transition from work to home life.
