If you want help identifying your minimum viable day, I'd love to partner with you. You can schedule a coaching call and we can walk through the process to identify what you need to have on your list.

It's so easy to focus on what we could have done better or what we should have done differently. It is much harder to be brave and acknowledge what we are doing right. I was so thankful for this reminder from Jamie Erickson in this podcast episode to remember that we are doing a lot right. And we should celebrate it! She also reminds us of the importance of having routines and rhythms in our day instead of rigid schedules.

In this episode, I share the strategies I use to minimize distractions so our homeschool day stays on track. See the full show notes: https://www.triumphantlearning.com/how-to-plan-your-day/#AHD024
