This article :http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25934685/, has some great advice for working mothers (and fathers!) on balancing out your life.
Here is a particularly insightful excerpt:
"A very small part of what you do will have a profound impact on your family or your business. So take an inventory of everything that needs to get done and commit each day to completing the big things (often the hard things) that will make a huge impact. Instead of just tackling each workday as one large block of time, divide it into different types of work. Schedule a bit of time for phone calls, a bit of time for e-mails and a big chunk of time to get projects done."
i.e There is only a limited amount of time in one day, so focus on the things that are important to you.

I loved this article. being a girl and knowing I want to have a family and work at the same time I will surely have all these difficulties that were listed in the articles. Smile and laughing always helps your life go by greatly.
One final tip: The last key to success is to smile and laugh when the whole plan falls through--as it often will. :)
This is a good one. We all have to stop, take stock and remind ourselves what is really important.
Striking a balance can be extremely difficult.
Good article! I am a family man and love spending time with my kids. Right now I have pretty good flexibility with my work. This morning my son & I went to breakfast and then on a bike ride at a local park before I went to work. Those are things I wouldn't trade for anything. (not even a few extra bucks)
it is more difficult for women to handle both family and work. because sounds like normally women are the ones who should be taking care of the housework, if at the same time they need to work full time that is very hard.
