I left work to become a mum but little did I know that coming back to work not only would I start qualifying for the “working mum” description but also that of a juggler. Every space of time like air for a juggler has millimetres of oppportunities. But dare you miss that fraction of a millimetre things may actually go haywire: not dropping or picking baby on time means you have to pay more not only in financial terms but it means baby’s routine is upheavelled and then you need to pay more in terms of attention, not publishing on time, not sleeping on time. The advantage of this is that there is a corollary to all this: that as one speeds at a 200% potential then one becomes ultra efficient at work.
