So happy to have you here!! If you’d like to learn more, check out workmuse.com site and join our newsletter workmuse.com/newsletter for all the goods! So glad you’ve found some flexibility and I think for many, that struggle is real. I job shared nearly a decade and it was really a game-changer — part-time work with the ability to unplug completely 4 days a week and the added benefit of actually accelerating my career with two minds in one job. It’s very unique in that way. Please let me know how I can best support you here :)
In life there will always be areas of that receive more focus than others. The trick is sraying flexible and shifting your focus and making adjustments as needed to keep it all attended to to the best of your ability.
Welcome!
I'd be happy to chat with you, I used to work in advertising and have been a corporate recruiter for the past 10 years. I've also embarked on two career changes successfully so can paint a picture of what that'll look like. You can DM me.
Hi Kim!! So glad you are here!! Would love to invite you to Work Muse’s newsletter (if you haven’t joined yet) for all the job share goods! workmuse.com/newsletter
Happy New Year, Linda! Your post made me tear up! It's compassionate people like you who made 2020 much better — who reached out to a friend or stranger, offered support where you were able, and just sent love into the universe! 2020 begone, 2021 is ours for the lessons we learned about what matters most!

I kept a schedule. I take a break away from my WFH computer for lunch. I keep my exercise routine. I get 6+ hours of sleep most nights and sleep in on Sat and Sun.
Yes, a schedule is so helpful and boundaries around when and where you work with a lunch break away from your computer. And resting to recharge on the weekend is so helpful. With kids at home remote learning, so much feels like it’s falling through the cracks, but getting into a routine and schedule that differentiates days from running together and straight into the weekend is a goal.
I love this!!! Have you given Brenè Brown’s latest episode on burnout a listen? What a gift you have tapped into. And yes, business and job share partners could use this! Let’s connect melissa@workmuse.com
I work for the government and they have banned the use of zoom due to security issues.
Rose, the other thing to consider is that A LOT Of people are suffering Zoom fatigue (or video conferencing fatigue). Here is a blog from CEOs of remote only companies that may be of help: https://meetedgar.com/blog/what-do-you-need-in-your-work-from-home-survival-kit/

Many of us feel burned out, stressed out & overwhelmed. We know 40+ hour workweeks with 24/7 demands are no longer compatible with the lives we live.
I was fortunate to job share for nearly a decade starting when my daughter was six-months-old, and it was a GAME CHANGER—the win-win-win for career-family-self I never imagined existed. Whether you're a new mom, caring for aging parents, returning from a career break or maternity leave, pursuing an advanced degree, or simply want a life not bounded by your job, job sharing could be your work-life fix and my goal is to help you create a rewarding job share.
We’ve built this community to support and educate. You can expect to:
>> Ask questions and get answers about job sharing
>> Find lessons to learn more about job sharing
>> Connect with potential job share partners!
>> Find job share opportunities

ALL my best,
Melissa
