New Trend

Communicating clearly about what you have on your plate to the people in your life will help everyone understand what is happening for you, what you can deliver, and how they can be helpful.
Set expectations with:
Your manager — It’s better to be honest up front about new limitations on your capacity than to drop the ball on things and then explain later. Hopefully you will have supportive and understanding leadership, but even if not, an early warning is the right way to go.
Your colleagues — They will be facing their own challenges, too, and they’ll need to know what to rely on and what to let go of.
Your children — Depending on their ages, your children may be able to understand why you can’t be available to them at every moment. Try to give them an idea of when you will be available, and set them up for success when you won’t be (snacks, a specific activity or school task, and a time-frame of how long you will be busy).
Yourself — If you aren’t honest and reasonable with yourself about what you can really do in this new situation, you’ll only end up setting inaccurate expectations for other folk in your life.
