work and family – Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival

Recent editions of the Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival have covered working from homelearning at home, and organizing with small children, issues which affect millions of people all the time, but never more than this year. With so many activities taking place in the home, there’s less distinction between “work time” and “family time” than ever before, making it even harder to achieve what’s often referred to as “work-life balance.”

This month, I invited my readers to share their blog posts about Work and Family, and you’ll find their helpful advice below. I’m especially pleased to welcome a few new contributors this month. Be sure to show the bloggers your appreciation by leaving comments and sharing their blog posts (or this one) with your network, using the hashtag #POBC in your social media posts.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this Blog Carnival!

Next month’s Blog Carnival is all about Mindfulness, and you may make your submission any time from now until Tuesday, November 17 at 12:00 midnight Eastern Time.
