12 Tip Bekerja Dari Rumah | Kepuasan Bekerja dan Kebahagian Keluarga

Selepas menghadiri Productive Muslim Seminar beberapa bulan yang lepas, ibu tidak ketinggalan untuk mendapatkan artikel terkini dari ProductiveMuslim.Com yang sangat berguna dan sangat praktikal.


12 Tips berguna untuk ibu-ibu yang bekerja di rumah dalam masa yang sama mencapai kebahagian dan kecemerlangan rumahtangga.


Here are 12 top tips for staying productive whilst working at home and managing a family.
  1. Allah is only a du’a away – All things start with the worship of Allah. It’s important to start the day and end the day by spending moments in the remembrance of Allah. Anything is possible by the will of Allah, if you put your mind to it. Ask Allah to strengthen you and bless your time. Always seek guidance for the day ahead.
  2. The day starts the night before – Plan what you and your family need to start the day. From getting school, work and nursery bags ready and placed by the door; preparing packed lunches and ensuring all clothes for the next day are ironed. This will make the mornings more productive and rewarding.
  3. Wake up Early – wake up an hour before the rest of the family and meet with Allah. We know he descends to the lower heavens to answer the dua’s of those asking, why not wake up and meet HIM? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon Him) has already told us that the early hours of the morning are the blessed time for his ummah. I urge you, and I, to take full benefit of these blessed hours. Re-energize yourself, have a bath/shower etc, whatever floats your boat and then get dressed for work. It does not matter whether you are a working or stay at home Mom. Prepare yourself to handle the challenges of the day.
  4. Organize and plan your schedules – Make a Daily or weekly plan for your family and business. It’s easy to fall off the wagon and lose track when you have kids at home and trying to run a business simultaneously. As Moms we can get side-tracked with household chores with too much multitasking, particularly for self-employed work at home moms (WAHMs), which could leave us overwhelmed. So begin each day with the end in mind. By reviewing your schedules, calendar, appointments, on-line meetings etc; then ask yourself what must be done at the end of the day. When a work at home mom makes lists for both family and business related tasks, this technique will bring about better organization and order to the day.
  5. Keep chaos at bay – Keeping a clean immaculate home can be very challenging, forWAHMs the house naturally gets into a mess. Keep clutter a bay, by cleaning up your home as you work.
  6. Kids nap times – Work your routine around your kids nap times. Nap times gives Moms chunks of time to work productively. If your kid does not have an established routine, find their natural rhythm and start working on a daily basis till you find a routine that works for both of you. For Moms with school aged children, try to fit your business tasks in during school hours.
  7. The 15-Minute rule – The Fly Lady is a great advocate of working in chunks of 15 minutes. A great way of getting things done, instead of trying to complete a task, work on it for 15 minutes and see how much you get done. By staying focused & challenged you will really accomplish a lot. (This tip is especially effective for those tasks you don’t like doing or something you keep putting off).
  8. Establish routines – It’s important to establish routines and stick to them firmly. Do allow for flexibility in your routines to deal with unforeseen contingencies. I find it important to have morning and evening routines. Doing things at the same time every day, to get the whole family into a regular routine. As a WAHM, you need to keep your children busy and engaged through stimulating games and activities
  9. Interactive games – Set up stimulating fun games and activities that will engage the kids for durations of 15 – 30 minutes whilst you get some work done. Let the kids know that you will be working; they will give you the space you need. Once you train kids to be independent you will be able to work uninterrupted for a few minutes. I work for a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the evening this fits in nicely with my daily activities. Get the older kids to babysit, so you can get some work done.
  10. Quality time – Give your kids your undivided attention when they wake up in the morning, during the day and at bed time. Reminding them how much you love them and how they are the most important thing in your life. You are more likely to get happy confident kids, who have had their basic human needs satisfied. Give them lots of hugs and kisses. Make them their favorite meals. Enjoy laughter and have some fun. These are moments that will stay with them forever. You will be able to work for sometime without any distractions.
  11. Set realistic goals! – Let go of perfection and aim to be excellent in what you do. Perfection belongs to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala). I use the analogy of the tortoise Mom. You will get to the finish line by making steady progress. It’s okay if your business takes a little while to grow, once you take care of your primary obligation as a Mother. Allah blesses and puts Barakah (Blessings) in your time to manage your family and business. What is not set will not be measured. Set realistic goals that will take you slightly out of your comfort zone, and work on achieving them. Take action, even if they are baby steps that build up to the bigger goals. Allah loves what is small and consistent.
  12. Reward yourself and kids! – Always reward your kids for good behavior, from a walk in the park to short trips, or shopping for something special. Aim to achieve three things and celebrate success at the end of the day. These little milestones of achievement will eventually build up to the bigger goals. Having a sense of fulfillment and achievement leads to greater motivation, energy boosts with the zeal and passion to do more! You will find you become highly productive achieving more in less times.
    Evaluate your day and thank Allah for your accomplishments. Thoroughly inspect what you are expecting. Praise and thank Allah for the GOOD things HE grants you. Always remember to seek his forgiveness for your short comings. Being a productive Mom means working smarter and efficiently.

Teknik Cepat Membaca: Cara Mudah Mengajar Anak Membaca

Hakim mula belajar secara formal semasa usianya 5 tahun, buku Bacalah Anakku digunakan di sekolah dan juga di rumah untuk memperkenalkan anak dengan bunyi sukukata yang mudah mengikut teknik fonetik. Bila di rumah ibu sudah terbiasa mengenalkan anak-anak dengan huruf menyebabkan anak keliru untuk sebut 'a' dengan A atau aaa. Bila anak dihantar ke taska, guru taska tanya Buku Anakku buku ke berapa? Ibu menjawab 'emm 2 ke 3? Isk nampak sangat ibu ni tidak prihatin dengan tahap kemahiran anak sendiri, malu sendiri jadinya. Bukan tidak peduli langsung tapi terlalai dengan kerja seharian (konon sibuk sangat) sampai terlupa nak cek buku anak-anak termasuk iqra'. Mana boleh macam ni? Takkan nak biarkan anak belajar 100% di sekolah dan taska sahaja? Apa yang aku lakukan sebagai ibu di rumah? Sibuk sangat kah? Ibu mula memeriksa bacaan Hakim, mulakan dari buku 1. baru lah ibu tahu bahawa anak ibu lebih kepada menghafal sebab terlalu sedikit latihan. Bila ibu tu

Mengajar Anak Mengenal Huruf Hijaiyah

Set Lengkap Mengajar Anak Kecil Membaca Mengenal huruf hijaiyah adalah perkara asas apabila belajar mengaji Quran. Bila kenal huruf kemudian baru belajar bunyi bacaan mengikut baris. sudah pandai baca baru belajar tajwid.  Sama seperti membaca, sekarang ada kaedah yang mengajar bunyi bacaan dahulu kemudian baru kenal huruf. Sama seperti kaedah fonik dalam Bahasa Melayu. Ibu lebih suka perkenalkan anak-anak dengan huruf-huruf hijaiyah dahulu. Belajar melalui lagu dan kad imbas adalah lebih mudah untuk anak-anak ibu. Contohnya lagu Alif Ba Ta yang banyak ada di Youtube. Ibu muat turun sahaja dan pasang di laptop hampir setiap hari. Bukan untuk anak yang baru belajar, anak yang sudah pandai mengaji pun akan ikut sama menyanyi. Lagu Alif Ba Ta yang mudah dan senang diikuti adalah seperti ini [Klik di sini] Ini yang paling jelas sebutan, jika ada yang lain mohon dikongsi di ruangan komen.  Untuk perkenalkan huruf menggunakan kad imbas, ibu gunakan kad imbas huru

Bagaimana Hilangkan Kutu Rambut?

Apakah itu kutu rambut? Kutu kepala adalah serangga kecil yang tidak bersayap yang berwarna kelabu atau coklat. Ianya ialah parasit yang mendapat makanan dengan menghisap darah dari kulit kepala manusia.   Saiz kutu yang baru menetas adalah lebih kurang 1mm (lebih kurang saiz kepala jarum peniti), dan kutu penuh dewasa berukuran sekitar 3mm (kecil sedikit daripada saiz kepala mancis). Kutu kepala mengambil masa antara enam hingga 14 hari untuk menjadi penuh dewasa, kemudian betina akan melakukan hubungan jenis dan melahirkan telur di atas kulit kepala.  Telur, atau 'nit' dalam bahasa Inggeris berwarna putih-kuning. Kadangkala ianya disangkakan kelemumur, tetapi boleh dibezakan sebab ia melekat kepada rambut dan sukar untuk dilucutkan. Telur mengambil masa tujuh hingga 19 hari untuk menetas dan kulit telur melekat tinggal pada batang rambut. Kutu boleh hidup sampai 21 hari, dan betina dewasa boleh mengeluarkan sebanyak 56 telur dalam satu hubungan jenis.
