Managing a household while homeschooling is often like a juggling act, and let’s face it, even the best jugglers drop a ball now and then. Between lesson plans, grocery shopping, and the elusive ‘me time,’ it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. 

If you find yourself at the end of the day wondering where all the time went or wishing you’d made space for what truly nurtures you, you’re in the right place. It’s not just about cramming more into your already busy day; it’s about intentionally carving out moments for what enriches your life and brings you closer to your God-given purpose. Here are a few ways you can approach scheduling.

1. Time-Blocking

Break your day into chunks of time and dedicate each chunk to a specific task or activity. This helps you focus and get more done.

2. Priority Setting

Not all tasks are created equal. Determine your high-priority items and tackle those first.

3. The Power of No

You can’t do it all. Learning to say ‘no’ can be liberating and will free up your time for the important stuff.

4. Get Tech-Savvy

Use planning apps or software to help keep you on track. A little tech can go a long way.

5. Meal Planning

Plan your meals for the week in advance. This not only saves you time but also cuts down on those last-minute stressors.

6. Include Downtime

Make sure to schedule some ‘you-time.’ Even a half-hour with a book or your favorite show can rejuvenate you.

7. Reflect and Revise

Take some time each week to review your schedule. What worked? What didn’t? Adjust accordingly for the next week.
