編寫家庭時間表

很多讀者問我:「作為一個在職媽媽,如何安排繁重工作、並兼顧瑣碎的家庭生活?」

對我來說,作為一個現代女性,既能上班工作,又能生兒育女、照顧孩子,兩件事都是我喜歡的,覺得非常幸福!對於實際上如何在上班的同時令家庭運作暢順,並讓時間的使用得到「最大化」,其中一樣我想分享的,就是編寫「家庭時間表」。

由於我做醫生的工作,每個月輪班的日子時間都不同,所以每次想放假,即使只放半天,都要在一個月甚至多個月之前跟同事協定;除非生病或意外,否則很少會臨時請假。而部門亦會在每月中期編定下一個月的時間表;萬一需要調動,就趁早提出。

因此我的家庭也是這樣運作。自從有小孩子之後,我都會提早編好下個月的時間表,例如四月中會寫好五月的時間表,讓兩個女兒和工人姐姐知道以後每天會發生甚麼事。我把時間表列印出來,貼在雪櫃門上。誰哪天要補習、星期六有活動、工人放假、誰去朋友的家、誰要考試、誰哪天學校提早放學、我哪天會外出吃飯等等,都會在超過一個月之前計劃好。

這個做法好處是大家互相配合,並把時間的價值最大化。其次,對於年紀小的孩子,預先知道未來幾日的行程,會有較高的安全感和秩序感。但壞處是「缺乏彈性」。如果有朋友臨時約我們外出吃飯或活動,多數無法出席。

也有些家庭,去旅行是非常即興的;甚至明天開始就是復活節假期,他們仍未決定去哪兒,或者正在等待一些廉價機票或酒店優惠;我家絕對做不到。如果我們要去旅行,可能要提早幾個月前準備,應變和改動的能力比較低。

編寫家庭時間表,眨眼間原來已經十多年了!電腦上的檔案,記載着每個月我們一家繁忙的日程。隨着孩子成長,希望能夠慢慢提升靈活度,增加參與即興活動,令生活更加豐富多采。
