3.  Folding Clothes Discreetly During A Zoom Meeting

A Zoom meeting is a perfect opportunity to fold that laundry which has been sitting in a corner of a room for over a week gathering dust… the guilt is real!

4. Replying To Emails On The Loo 

Another time during the day when you have some time to… sit down and be productive without (too many) interruptions.

5. Phone Calls Or Podcasts Whilst Unloading The Dryer

Listening to a podcast whilst doing chores is a great way to get things done whilst enjoying yourself. There are also times when you’re on a call with a friend and she’s ranting on about her new boyfriend, or her argument with her husband… and we just let them be our podcast.

6. Periods

This is the cherry on the cake! Even if the world was an ideal place and all responsibilities were divided equally between men and women, biologically women would still have to struggle with the monthly curse.

A woman can be working and simultaneously have excruciatingly painful stomach cramps which sometimes feel worse than stomach flu pains. Kudos to all the women out there!

7. Rocking The Buggy With One Foot While Trying To Warm Your Hands With A Hot Cup Of Coffee

It’s Wintertime, you’re out trying to get your baby to fall asleep but your hands are turning blue… hopefully you don’t have a faulty buggy which keeps turning sideways.

8. People-Watching In The Car Whilst Waiting For Your Kids To Come Out Of Gymnastics 

And trying to find anything to pass the time – wiping the dashboard with wet wipes, thinking about dinner, scrolling through Facebook, and staring at the gymnasium door hoping to glimpse the kids rushing out so you can finally get home after a long day of work.

9. Reorganise The Fridge And Pantry Whilst Making The Shopping List

There’s nothing more satisfying than cleaning the fridge and pantry and throwing away expired food. Who needs therapy, right?

10. Waking Up An Hour Earlier every day Just To Have Enough Time To Get The Kids And Yourself Ready

You start work at 9am but wake up at 5:30am everyday so that you can wake the kids up in time for their school pick-up. However, once they leave you can relax and have some alone-time to get ready in peace.

9. Free-Time And Self-care

Last but not least, self-care. Engaging in self-care is so important and has been proven to reduce anxiety and depression. It encourages you to have a healthy relationship with yourself before you can help or have any sort of relationship with anyone else.
