1. Connect with someone who successfully balances motherhood and business-related duties. Ask her for pointers regarding success and for tips to handle challenges. Juggling responsibilities alone is not necessary if you tap resources available to you.
2. Do projects in phases. In other words, take small steps toward completion. For instance, if you are writing an article, write the introduction at one sitting. Outline the body at the same sitting but do not begin it. Start writing the body of your article at another time and complete that phase alone. Before you know it, you will finish the article through small steps.
3. Do your best work during peak hours. For example, decide if you are a morning-lark, a night-owl or somewhere between the two. Work during your peak performance hours. Ask a friend or relative to watch your children so you can maximize your efforts.
4. Anchor your efforts in faith. Consider these words from Proverbs: "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3 (NIV)
