Have you ever wished for a magic wand to manage your work and family schedules? Our experience with shared calendars might be your enchanted answer. We journey through the perks of using technology like Google Calendar in coordinating and communicating better within our family. As we step out of our comfort zones, we also encourage dads to let their children explore alternative career paths and embrace fresh opportunities.
Our discussion takes a deeper turn as we ponder the eternal question of maintaining a balance between work and family. We highlight the essential art of mental switching between work and family time and the need to prioritize family over work. Drawing from our experiences, we share nuggets to achieve this balance, including syncing with your spouse and setting boundaries.
