You're running short of time. You're overloaded with work. And your little one chooses that time to tell you a funny joke.

Don't say, "Later sweetie, Mummy's busy now." Take a deep breath and give him your attention    and enjoy a few minutes with your son. The chores can wait - they always do. But make time for your child. Make his day.

You're tired. You've been on your feet all day. You want to curl up with a good book for a while. Your husband turns up. And tells you about the problems he had faced at work.

Don't switch yourself off. Don't wait politely or him to finish so you can get back to your book. Share his problems. Be there for him. Connect with him. He's had a stressful day. And you're the person he needs to talk to    it makes him feel better. Make time for your husband. Make him look forward to coming home to you.

Your friend is depressed again. She's not able to get over her divorce. And she needs a shoulder to cry on. God! You're not sure you can take this anymore. She's beginning to depress you. Why on earth did she agree to a divorce in the first place?

Don't look bored or disinterested. It's hard, but make the effort nevertheless. Give her a patient hearing. Suggest she takes up a job, a hobby or some community project. Help her keep herself busy. Make time for your friend. Make her feel better about herself, about you.

You're thrilled and excited. You're off on a vacation shortly. You're full of plans and dreams. Your mother calls, or it could be your mother in law. She needs help. Could you just oblige, she pleads.

Don't blow your top, or display impatience. True, she needn't have waited till you were almost on your way to the station. Get your husband and children to get everything ready while you spare half an hour or so for the lady in distress. Or request a close friend or relative to help cope with the crisis. Make time. Make her feel wanted.
