"PinterestFacebook1. Don&amp;#39;t work unlimited hours.\n&amp;quot;I want a schedule that is compatible with being a good mom and a good senator,&amp;quot; says Gillibrand. &amp;quot;I try to not schedule things between 5:30 P.M. and 7:30 P.M. so I can pick up my kids\u2026and put them to bed\u2026. Not many members of Congress do that. And I spend one day a weekend at home. I need the rest&amp;#8212;I&amp;#39;m certainly not superwoman.&amp;quot;\n2. Do pursue a passion&amp;#8212;whatever that might be.\nThree things Gillibrand is passionate about: equal pay for equal work for women, childhood health and nutrition, and the unacceptable backlog of unanalyzed rape evidence. &amp;quot;Women who are raped go through [hours] of documenting DNA samples. And then that evidence sits for years!&amp;quot;\n3. Don&amp;#39;t try to be good at everything (like, say, gutting a fish).\n&amp;quot;Last summer we took my son Theo fishing. He was so excited catching a fish. I didn&amp;#39;t feel comfortable taking the hook out. My mother was disappointed; she said, I cannot believe I didn&amp;#39;t raise you right, [you&amp;#39;re] so squeamish!&amp;#39; But I left it for my mother and husband to do. They&amp;#39;re much better at it!&amp;quot;\n4. Do grab time for workouts.\n&amp;quot;If I had an hour [to do anything I wanted], I would go running. When I was pregnant, I worked out almost every day in the men&amp;#39;s gym&amp;#8212;the women&amp;#39;s gym [was] closed&amp;#8212;and got a lot of ribbing from my male colleagues. I really got into a schedule where I could make that hour every day. In this new job, I haven&amp;#39;t found that hour yet, but I will.&amp;quot;\n5. Do find a partner who supports you 100 percent.\nIn 2000 she got a job offer in the Clinton administration. &amp;quot;I called my then boyfriend and asked what he thought of my moving to D.C. He said, Kirsten, since I&amp;#39;ve known you, all you&amp;#39;ve wanted to do is public service. Do this. I&amp;#39;ll see you on weekends.&amp;#39;&amp;quot; Now they&amp;#39;re married.\nWhat&amp;#39;s in Gillibrand&amp;#39;s Purse?\nTOYS\n&amp;quot;Theo puts them in when he doesn&amp;#39;t want to carry them.&amp;quot;\nMAKEUP, OF COURSE\n&amp;quot;I travel a lot&amp;#8212;I want the basics I might need in any given day.&amp;quot;\nMY BLACKBERRY\n&amp;quot;I [once] caught Henry seconds before he put it in the toilet!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
