Creating Your Dream Schedule

Dear Within the Fold community,

We hope this email finds you well and that you're ready for the next step in our journey to create your dream schedule. If you haven't already, take a moment to work on last week's reflection page.

Make Your Dream Schedule: How To:
(Get the FREE Dream Schedule Template below)

Step 1: Record Your Weekly Events: Take some time to jot down all your weekly events from the past week. Include everything from regular routines to unexpected surprises. This comprehensive list will serve as your guide in creating your dream schedule.

Step 2: Your "Homeschool Reflections Workbook": Now, in your "Homeschool Reflections Workbook," move on to the "first" section and add all your reoccurring events to your dream schedule. Include activities that are essential for your family's well-being and growth.

Step 3: Adding the "Next" and "Later": Gradually add in the "next" and "later" events from your list. Prioritize what aligns with your family's values and educational goals. Remember, there's no need to rush; this is your dream schedule, tailored to your family's needs and desires.

Step 4: Flex Time for the Unforeseen: Account for unforeseen events by setting aside Flex Time in your schedule. Flex Time allows you to adapt to unexpected situations without feeling overwhelmed.

Step 5: Rest and Recharge: Ensure you add in quiet times for rest and rejuvenation. Reflect on your previous week: were your kids extra tired? Consider their needs to create a more peaceful household.

Step 6: Comparing Your Schedules: Compare your dream schedule to your past week's schedule. Does it look and feel like a better fit? This process will help you identify what works best for your family.

Step 7: Try it Out and Tweak as Needed: Put your dream schedule into action and see how it feels. Tweak it as necessary to optimize your family's daily life.

Step 8: "Park" or Let Go: For items that didn't make it onto the schedule, don't fret. You can "park" them for the right season of life or cross them off if they no longer hold value.

Step 9: Delegation and Optimization: Consider what tasks can be delegated or optimized to make your day run more smoothly. Next week, we'll delve deeper into these aspects to further improve your schedule.

Creating your dream schedule is an ongoing journey, and we're excited to be with you every step of the way. A peaceful homeschooling experience is within reach!

1. Homeschool Organizer Updates

Our Homeschool organizer is evolving to provide more value. So many people fail at using a planner and it is also the one thing that most people need to be successful. A well designed planner will simplify your life. It takes time to learn and implement and build a habit, but it is faster to slow down and sharpen your knife than keep cutting slowly with a dull blade. We have also been hard at work developing a Teen Student Planner for you as well.
