I know it isn't usual to view ourselves as anything but home schoolers, just a mum with extra jobs. I am realising lately that viewing ourselves as managers is a more broadening experience. I have many 'projects' under way such as home chores, home maintenance, personal projects, homeschool planning and prep, etc.
As a homeschooling mother of 4 I find a lot of the problems covered here are things that apply to me. As I read more about the skills a manager needs I am learning to view myself as a manager of a unique group - my family with all sorts of priorities, goals and projects. I find the author's style of writing very easy to understand even though I have read these ideas before and I recommend a good browse around his site.
If we can view ourselves in this light, a manager of people and projects in a home environment, there is so much out there to help us. We just need to adapt the 'male business' words to fit our 'female home' management situation.
Best wishes,
Jen
