Hello, welcome back to the show. This is Lindsay. And today we have another CEO mama episode for you and this is a repurposed episode of Mother Load and this episode is all about transitions and context switching which I think for me personally were two big learnings in my work mom life that really helped me regulate my nervous system and feel more peace in how I go about my day,

especially as somebody who works from home.

And so if you are a work from home mama, this episode is especially for you.

But I think it's valuable to everyone because I do go into depth on

transitions and some of the like the psychology around having transitions in your day like

transition from in the morning into work mode and then transition out of work mode.

And if you're working from home and your kids are around how to manage that.

So I have some really practical tips about that stuff.

And then with context switching, you know, if you haven't heard of context

switching before, it's this tendency a lot of us have to kind of jump around all day

long like jump from tab to tab, jump from task on the laptop to

notification on the phone to distraction with the dog to go do some laundry to go make some

lunch oh the kids are screaming like to jump you know jump from thing to thing to thing and kind of lose our way in

focused work and how hard it is for our brain to come back into focus when we are

jumping around context to context.

So this episode has lots of great practical tips and of course just my real life anecdotal stories of how I've managed this and how I've experienced it because everything that I share on the Boss Bay Podcast, on the Mother Load Podcast, everywhere that I share anything is all based

on my own personal learning and mistakes

and growth in my own life.

So I hope this is a really practical and useful episode

for you. I find nailing transitions and being really disciplined about context switching

help my days feel much more productive and I can get more done in less time

which I know a lot of us have that need where we feel like we need to get more things accomplished in shorter hours of the day because we are moms because we're busy we have all these other commitments and you know when I really buckle down and look at how much time I waste to context switching or not having the right transition
