The way of working and my attitude would be totally different. So I will do every thing differently.

Working Life Management:

I used to find it hard not to take stuff home and this was because I found it hard to start things and then not finish them. Now if I don’t finish things, I just don’t finish them. My baby is more important than my job, but my job is key for our survival. So it’s a vital balance to strike.
