Send us a textEver feel like you're living a double life? Perfectly organised and on top of things at work, yet walking into what feels like complete chaos the moment you arrive home? You're not broken, failing, or an imposter, you're experiencing a common disconnect that affects countless working parents.This gap exists for logical reasons. Your workplace has built-in structures that home typically doesn't: clear expectations, defined deadlines, accountability to others and established systems. Meanwhile, home life swirls with unpredictable demands, emotional complexity and an endless mental load that no one is scheduling or structuring for you. The contrast is stark, especially for those juggling careers and family responsibilities.Drawing from my experience as both a working professional and mother of four, I share three practical strategies to bridge this work-home organisation gap. First, treat your home life like it deserves genuine systems rather than constant improvisation. Create frameworks around pain points like meal planning or family schedules. Second, establish micro deadlines for essential life admin tasks, whether it's a Sunday night laundry reset or a quick evening tidy-up routine. Finally, schedule breaks and self-care with the same commitment you give to work meetings and lunch breaks, because you can't sustainably function without them.Ready to stop feeling like an organisational Jekyll and Hyde?
