Don't Lose Focus at Work

Of course you want to keep reminders of your baby around, but don't let it take your focus off of your work. Hang your favorite pictures at your workplace so you never feel too out of touch with your little one, but don"t dwell on missing her. It will only distract you, make the day feel longer, and make your job suffer. Make your time in the office count. You'll feel fulfilled and your time spent at home with your little one will be that much sweeter.
