Easy ideas for avoiding working mom burnout

Book 'me' time in your calendar. Make it exercise (that you love), time with friends or a pedicure. Guilt-free.
Spend $ on what you really need. Money can't buy love. But it can buy time. Think housekeeper or grocery delivery service.
Color with your kids. Quality family time. It's a proven anxiety buster for grownups. That's a win-win.
Rein in your inner perfectionist. Aim for good enough and get time to yourself.
Do date night your way. Skip the fancy restaurant and dress dilemma. Have a picnic or bike for ice cream.

Guidance from the experts at Mayo Clinic.
