  • 5 Productivity Hacks for Busy Working Moms
    FIVE PRODUCTIVITY HACKS FOR BUSY WORKING MOMS R E D E F I N I N G M O M . C O M ABOUT My name is Monica and I live in Buffalo, NY with my ME husband and our toddler daughter. First and foremost, I am a wife and a mom. After 10.5 years in Corporate America, working in Channel Marketing for a Fortune 100 company, I quit my job to work for a small company where I negotiated flexible benefits. I am a working mom and that is something I take a lot of pride in. Redefining Mom came about after one too many google searches I made in the early months of my daughter’s life that resembled something like: “balancing work and being mom” “mom guilt” “jobs for stay at home moms.” In other words, I felt a bit desperate and I decided starting my own blog would be a good way to connect with other women experiencing the same feelings. In July 2013, Redefining Mom was born and since then I have met so many wonderful (and powerful) working moms! It has also allowed me to write for one of the most popular working mom blogs on the internet, Working Moms Against Guilt. Now that I am three years into this mom gig, I have found a chaotic balance and stopped worrying about if working is the right decision for me because it is. That is not to say it isn’t hard or that I never experience guilt, I’ve just learned how to cope better.

  • Distraction Or Life Saver? the Role of Technology in Undergraduate Students’ Boundary Management 2 Strategies
    1 Distraction or Life Saver? The Role of Technology in Undergraduate Students’ Boundary Management 2 Strategies HAJIN LIM, IAN ARAWJO, YAXIAN XIE, NEGAR KHOJASTEH, SUSAN R. FUSSELL, Cornell University Previous1 research has shown that communication technologies may make it challenging for working 3 professionals to manage the boundaries between their work life and home life. For college students, however, there is a less clear definition of what constitutes work and what constitutes home life. As a result, students may use different boundary management strategies than working professionals. To explore this issue, we interviewed 29 undergraduates about how they managed boundaries between different areas of their life. Interviewees reported maintaining flexible and permeable boundaries that are not bounded physically or temporally. They used both technological and non-technological strategies to manage different life spheres. 4 Interviewees saw technology as a major source of boundary violations but also as a boundary managing strategy that allowed them to achieve better life balance. Based on these findings, we propose design implications for tools to better support the boundary management processes of undergraduate students. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Human computer Interaction(HCI) → Empirical studies in HCI 5 KEYWORDS Boundary management; life balance; undergraduate student; college student ACM Reference format: Hajin Lim, Ian Arawjo, Yaxian Xie, Negar Khojasteh, and Susan R.
