And I couldn't agree more. I am a child and family therapist, so coming home and leaving work behind was once a challenge. Now, it's not a choice. I have to be present with my son. This forces me to truly focus on work so that I can shut it off at home. I love this post. And I couldn’t agree more.

I think that it goes even beyond work. Kids teach you to be in the present. They themselves live in the present and they offer a good lesson in learning to really be in the moment. My job is not very stressful and it doesn't require me to take it home with me (neither literally nor figuratively) but what I'm having to learn is, when I'm with my son, to really be with him and not have my mind wander about the dishes that need to be done or an email I need to write. I think for me that is a big challenge, and a good one at that. I love this idea! I think that it goes even beyond work. Kids teach you to be in the present.

I think in order to get things done with kids and work you have to eliminate the random and delegate where you can. So it gets you to the important stuff faster. Whether that be a true deadline or the cute little things that want to crawl all over you. I agree with that statement at well.

The moment I walk in the door and my kids fly in my arms, I forget work. But I do find it challenging, especially since the moment they're in bed my laptop is open again... Oh well.
