025: Getting Work Done When You Have a Sick Child or Spouse
1 hour
As a family of eight with three in elementary school and weekly visits to the church nursery, the odds of someone catching some kind of virus or another are stacked against us. We do our best through proper hygiene, diet, and sleep, to avoid sickness, but it's inevitable.
Working and maintaining a healthy family life is hard enough, but throw in a sick spouse or child and things can become exponentially more difficult.
There were times when a sick spouse or kid would completely derail us. The loss of time is frustrating, but the loss of momentum can make things even more difficult even when you can return to work.
We've gotten plenty of experience working through sickness, and in this episode we share some of the techniques we've learned to keep our productivity up when managing sickness in our household. You can't avoid sickness completely, but if you can purposefully plan for it you can get through it and still keep things up and running.
