Homeschool Email for Friday October 27, 2023

Dear Friends,

Did you remove clutter from your bedroom this week?

Decluttering will help you with maintaining and cleaning your home when you do your Weekly Home Blessings. If you still have some stash and dash areas, spend five minutes a day on these areas.

Do you procrastinate when it comes to your To Do List?

My best advice on your To Do list daily is to keep it short, and then you will experience the feeling of being successful in completing it. If you are homeschooling and have small children, keep your To Do List daily to ONE thing. Yes, that is right. Put ONE thing on your To Do List for the day.

Keep a Master To Do List with your Control Journal. This can be a list that you add to and mark off, but it is always there. Each day, read over the list and pick parts of some of the items on the Master List.

If you have older children, you can limit yourself to 3 small steps from the Master List.

When it comes time to clean out the garage, attic, basement, or storage, you will need to set aside 15 minutes daily to do that. You can clear it out, and it can be fun too!

If I am doing a room project, I might have the room name written down, and then smaller projects listed under the room title. When I do my daily list, I pick one of those things to do. This happened whenever the boys switched bedrooms. We would break it down into steps.

My daily projects stay around 15 minutes. They do not take all day. I cannot budget all day to a project because my routines will fall to the side.

Your perfectionism wants you to do it all at once. You have been doing it this way for years and breaking it down into small steps feels strange to you. You can do it! It takes small, consistent steps.

Where do you flounder with your To Do List?

Today’s Zone Mission is to declutter items from the top of your dresser.

Your Home Blessing for today is to take out the trash, sweep, and mop.

My menu plan for Friday is take out.

Have a wonderful weekend!
