In this episode I talk to "Jane" who poses the challenge of working from home in a small space while navigating the responsibilities of two young children and a partner who is also confined to working from home?  How do you negotiate space? Time?  Parenting? These are the questions and challenges facing many people during the pandemic.

The take aways from this episode include:

!. Negotiate your best hours of work as much as possible and keep it uninterrupted.  Our brain can't focus for long periods of time. The more undistracted you can be, the better your work productivity will be.  Negotiate time where all you are doing is working.

2. Negotiate sacred time where all you are doing is parenting.

3.  Distraction strategies are letting you know your brain needs a break from work.  Be clear about the strategies you need to take care of your nervous system.

4.  Include time where you are regenerating.  

5. Make sure everyone in the household (especially children) get included in helping out with family chores and activities.
