What do I do? I ask myself what’s most important “right now” and I focus on that. Important as in “which tasks are going to improve my professional and family goals combined.”nnI also hire help if I can afford it — a college student to run a few errands, or someone to come and help with chores just one time. nnDon’t worry…it’s going to be just fine. Don’t sweat the messy house, or the lack of cooking…it’s not gonna kill anyone. Just take time to rest. And, ignore those emails for a full week.
