Balancing Work and Family as a PA

Managing family time while working as a pediatric PA can feel like a juggling act. I often find myself prioritizing patients during the day and then trying to switch gears for my own kids at night. Has anyone found effective strategies for maintaining that balance without burning out?

I totally get the juggling act you’re facing. I found that setting a strict cutoff time for work helps me transition to family time, even if it means some tasks stay unfinished for the next day. Have you tried something like that to create a clearer boundary?

Finding that balance is tough! I’ve started using a weekly planner to keep my shifts and family time organized — like a performance schedule, but for my life. Have you tried anything similar, @sophie_klein75?
