My husband and I work quite a bit from home and these are some tips that have really helped us navigate work and family life together.

Each family dynamic is different, and what might work for one family, may look very different for another. The key using Respectful Parenting principles is just to let love lead.

Be kind to one another as well as yourself. Prep. Listen. Empathize. Acknowledge. Sit. Empower.

This is a new normal for many in what is an unprecedented move and will take a little time to adjust. To learn what works and what doesn't and there will be days that you definitely learn what doesn't. Or that it is less than what you expected or wanted that day to be. But maybe the next day or the day after you'll learn what does.

And when it falls apart some days, which it will. We've had different iterations of working from home since Ella Grace was born and there's been lots of giant failwhale moments even with the best laid plans. In those moments, the biggest things my husband and I needed to do was to breathe it all out, sit with all those uncomfortable feelings of hard and growth and guilt and overwhelm, allow it to surface and not build resentment, ask what it was here to teach us, let it go, forgive ourselves as much as each other, pick it all and each other up, call all the pieces back, and start again.

One step at a time, one day at a time.

Let love lead.

You got this mama, I'm rooting for you.

WORKING FROM HOME TOGETHER
1. Ask what's important. This is something we did together as a family and is pivotal. Asking what each other needed, what would help, what would not help, how we saw this working out really help everyone get on the same page. We wrote and listed down everything we talked about which really helped us all visually build a schedule as well as know and manage each others expectations.

2. Designate work and non-work time. This is crucial and will make a huge amount of difference. A schedule and routine helps give everyone structure to the day which is very comforting when so much is up in the air. It also allows everyone to be really present whether at work or with each other. Work is work time, play is really play time.

3. Connect to disconnect. If your little one is interrupting a lot, they are seeking for an emotional refueling and connection. If you are able to, fill up that tank through play and presence. When you first start and especially if you don't normally get a lot of time with them, they will crave for this a lot and follow you everywhere. Keep filling that tank, ideally designating specific refueling time (refer above!!) imagining it as in the negative, and when you can get it full, you'll be amazed at how well and willing they will be to separate and do their own thing.

4. Welcome interruptions lovingly but stay focused and come back to it. Take and build in breaks - ask if you need to connect, limit, set, prioritize, or nourish.

5. Sit by a window and bathe in natural light, preferable with some view of green with a giant bottle of water next to you - stay hydrated! Healthy snacks also help your brain get into a theta wave which is the most receptive to information and learning. I sit next to a giant window in our living room and it helps me not go stir-crazy!

6. Better yet, take lots of movement breaks. Exercise over eating allows your brain to stay in the theta wave the longest which is really where your brain is at it's optimum. The movement helps you get it all out and cope better by also releasing a flood of happy hormones. We try to start our day with a little 20-30min family exercise, it doesn't have to be fancy. Sometimes it's a little circuit that we build in our living room, a yoga or zumba video, or even just a dance party.

7. You don't have to "dress up" but it's important that you get dressed, brush your teeth, wash your face, prep yourself. It will really help you move from sloth to work mode. 😅❤️

8. Designate a work area and space. We live in a little apartment in the city but having designated work spaces is so important to help us keep focused and "in the zone".

9. Quiet is ideal but if not, earplugs or headphones work too when you need it.

10. Don't micromanage, you'll go crazy. Allow and trust everyone the beauty of discovery. What works for them, what doesn't. How creative they can get. How to regulate. How to ask for what they need or don't.

11. Be flexible and open as much as possible to change and new experiences and ideas as well as little mess. Again, we have a little 1500sqft condo in the city and we're actually on day 12 of self-quarantine so being mindful that this is a shared space for all of us means allowing Ella Grace to "dress up" our living room, leave different creations at different stages as she free plays, or being kind on ourselves in terms of what housework we can manage today if our plate is especially full or if we are just tired.

12. 20 minute shakedowns are your friend. We play this game in the evenings or when we need it and it's called a 20min shakedown. We set the timer for 20mins and everyone earnestly picks up, cleans up, puts away, the crazy of the day. The key is to really walk away at the 20min mark even if it's not perfect. What this does is that because you know it's only going to be 20mins, everyone tries their hardest and makes it fun instead of never-ending. Better yet, everyone is happy to do it again the next time!

13. Plan your time strategically. Mornings for me are for correspondence/follow-up/emails as I know I'm likely more to be interrupted then so pick tasks that would be easy to get back into. Nap time is calls or anything I might need to get done during the day that works better with minimal interruption. I usually "clock-off" at 3/4pm to play with Ella Grace (connect to disconnect!!) before I start dinner and usually go back to work at about 8/9pm to do the more serious thinking stuff that requires quiet like writing articles, designing workshops, working on slides, etc.

14. Schedule in marriage time. J and I are technically colleagues and we also run a business together. It's easy to get stuck in work mode so being sure that work is work and marriage is marriage also helps a lot. We make sure to "date" each other after Ella Grace goes to bed at night. It doesn't have to be fancy, a shared dessert, cuddling and watching a movie together, talking about our day. However and whatever your love languages are, honor that.

15. Be kind. To yourself, to your little one, to each other. It's hard heart work and it's constantly learning and unlearning. Choose to find joy. In the little things, in the big things. This too will pass, mama. We love you and are standing in the light with you. <3

APUJAN Spring Summer 2020 "A Strange Thief of Time", London Fashion Week.

APUJAN 將以關於科幻、奇幻、時間流逝故事為發想的主題，於 2020 春夏倫敦時裝周帶來全新篇章 「怪奇的時間盜賊」（A Strange Thief of Time）。

The inspiration for this season’s collection began with stories about time. Apu Jan, an avid reader since he was a child, drew inspiration from the books he was reading and provides a reading list so guests can get a better understanding of where his concepts have originated. This season, the list consists of three books: Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett, The Thief of Time by John Boyne and A Thief of Time by Tony Hillerman. Despite having the same title, these three authors used their stories to explore very different concepts and themes, which provided a fertile soil for the ideas we will see featured in this collection. APUJAN is using this collection to tell his own story, a science fiction fantasy involving time lapses. It features time thieves, stolen time, time observers, interweaving timelines, time movement, and confused time, within both retro and sci-fi settings. In his collection we can see flowers blossoming and dying, deadwood, dinosaur bones, stars and clocks, all of which symbolise the flow of time. Looking at the designs, we can see colour blocks, lines and staggered weaves, alongside re-constructed design pieces and skewed necklines, all of which reflect the disruption wreaked by time. The hairstyles of the models have been designed to conjure images of a time vortex. Continuing on from his previous seasons, APUJAN leads us into his fantasy world, with subsequent pieces opening new chapters and volumes in one seamless tale. Choices of packaging and tags also reinforce this impression, even the dresses feature book pages and stories to further complete the imaginative narrative.

受到英國作家 Terry Pratchett、愛爾蘭作家 John Boyne 以及美國作家 Tony Hillerman 的作品影響，「怪奇的時間盜賊」訴說時間流逝，關於那些被竊取的時間、關於時間的觀察者、時間流動的軌跡以及錯亂的時間軸，透過多樣化的針織技藝和原創布料搭配東⽅傳統服飾元素，試圖讓服裝成為可以被閱讀的一篇篇故事。歪斜的領口設計和重新改組的款式，象徵被打亂的世界；服裝上色塊、線條和交錯織線中，隱現著花開花落、枯木、恐龍骨骸、星星與時鐘等品牌元素，象徵時間流動的穿梭痕跡，既復古又科幻，展現APUJAN對架空世界觀的異想。

ϟϟ Taiwanese magazine censored by Beijing ϟϟ

By Alison Hsiao / Staff reporter
(Taipei Times, 2015/1/11)

A Taiwanese photography magazine has been pulled off shelves in China due to its theme of street protests, the publication said on Facebook, adding that all editions with related stories, including back issues, have been confiscated from locations in China that have been importing and selling the magazine.

Voices of Photography (VOP), an independent publication dedicated to contemporary photography, first broke the news on its Facebook page on Thursday, saying that they had been informed by Chinese bookstores of unannounced inspections and the confiscation of the magazine by Chinese authorities at the end of last month.

The integrated Law Enforcement in Cultural Market team, as it is called in China, was the authority said to have undertaken the action.
The theme of the latest issue is “Protests, Activism and Images,” in which the magazine said “the scenes of movements in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Japan” are brought to life through images, documenting “protest photography and image politics [on] the rise in Taiwanese social movements in the ’70s, then flourishing in the ’80s … all the way to the Sunflower movement in 2014.”

“Not only were physical bookstores affected, but online advertisements carried by Taobao [China’s biggest online marketplace], Weixin [China’s social messaging app] and Weibo [the Chinese microblogging platform] have also all been forcibly taken down,” VOP editor-in-chief Lee Wei-i (李威儀) said yesterday.

“An online bookstore selling VOP was forced to shut down completely,” he added.

The bookstores were told, Lee said, that copies of the magazine were confiscated because they were “illegally imported,” as the bookstores had failed to import them via “legal, state-authorized channels,” instead directly purchasing them from the magazine.

“It is apparent that the move targeted our latest issue featuring activism. A dealer’s copies of the latest issue were seized by Chinese customs when entering the mainland from Hong Kong. The reason given was that the products were [politically] sensitive,” Lee said.

The magazine had been on shelves without interference until this issue, Lee said, declining to specify the exact amount of time to preserve the anonymity of the involved stores.

“While there are no official documents to prove our claim, we’ve been told that Chinese authorities specifically asked for the stores’ sale and purchase records of the magazine,” he said.

The affected bookstores have informed the publication that it would be difficult for them to continue importing and displaying the magazine on their shelves.

“Chinese authorities have further increased the political pressure that would have book distributors undergo self-censorship,” VOP said in a Facebook post.

“Not only has the ban in China had a negative impact on our income and activities, but Chinese readers have also been deprived of the right to access knowledge and the flow of ideas has been obstructed,” it said.

"No Strings"

As a global community, we have the power to discover and connect with one another more than ever before through the convenience of technology.
