A question people keep on asking is how I manage to keep a balance between family, work, and free time. It is not an easy feat, in fact, it often feels like a balancing act, threatened by anything that might be unplanned. It was the case of some time, but after a couple of months, some fine-tuning, and a lot of help from my wife I can say that it is manageable. The key element is planning and communication. My weekday is divided into three parts:<\/p>\n

Family<\/li>\n
Photography<\/li>\n
Firefighting & EMS<\/li>\n
Free Time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The part that is not flexible is family time. The kids have to get up, get some breakfast go, and get back from school, so that\u2019s the core of our planning.<\/p>\n
Here is an example of a typical day:<\/h6>\n
06:00 Alarm goes off \u2013> morning routine<\/p>\n
06:15 Walk the dog<\/p>\n
06:30 Prepare and have Breakfast<\/p>\n
06:55 Get Ellie ready to leave with mom<\/p>\n
07:00 Get the car ready for the boys<\/p>\n
07:15 Get the boys to school<\/p>\n
08:00 Alone, \u2026. the workday can begin<\/p>\n
12:00 Try to get a lunch break.<\/p>\n
12:30 Get back to work<\/p>\n
15:00 Pick up the kids from school<\/p>\n
16:00 Have a healthy snack<\/p>\n
16:00 House Chores<\/p>\n
17:00 Family time<\/p>\n
18:00 Dinner time<\/p>\n
19:00 Get the kids ready for bed, Rescue Service shift starts<\/p>\n
20:00 Check that everybody is done and in bed.<\/p>\n
20:15 Free time. The relaxing part of the day \u2026.<\/p>\n
22:00 Bed Time<\/p>\n
Of course, as of 19:00, all bets are open. If I get called out, Tania is on her own with the kids. It is important to note that the partners of us volunteer first responders need to be 100% on board with us doing what we do. Leaving at a moment\u2019s notice can cause some stress.<\/p>\n
I won\u2019t try to hide the fact that those days are tiring all by themselves, not even taking the nightly callouts into account. The key to keeping getting enough energy is to remain flexible during the parts of the day that allow it. I will sometimes take a couple of hours out of my work schedule to get some quality time or rest in. There are days where I will not take on any shift so that I can go to bed knowing I won\u2019t be woken up for an emergency.<\/p>\n
The secret<\/h6>\n
The most important aspect of family life is undoubtedly communication. Not only for the schedule but in general. We take some time before going to bed to talk about the day or issues that might lead to stress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Our main rule since we have been together: We don\u2019t go to bed angry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We chose Sundays after breakfast to be an ideal time to sit down together and make the planning for the coming week. That allows us to keep surprises during the week at bay and thus reduce the stress in the morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
