Reduce Homeschool Planning Decision Fatigue

As a homeschool mom, there are a lot of decisions to make. You've got to think about homeschool approach, curriculum, and supplies. Then, you need to decide how and when to make all this learning happen in your home when you also have chores, errands, and extracurricular activities to contend with.

Put it all together and what have you got? Overwhelm that leads to decision fatigue.

At least, that's how many homeschool moms feel. Too many choices for everything, from finding a homeschool math program that works for your kids to what type of pencil to use. 

And let's not forget about homeschool planning! Do a search for "homeschool planner" and you'll quickly get lost in a sea of suggestions and types of homeschool planners.

You may find free printable options or open-and-go planners that are okay, but not quite what you need. Then, you're spending a ton of time and resources trying to figure out how to even use them.

And if you're a homeschooler like me who enjoys a relaxed, eclectic approach with a lot of interest-led learning thrown in the mix, you've got a whole pile of homeschool planner printables to sort through and try to make some sense out of.

From a homeschool soccer mom of five boys with an erratic schedule, let me give you a piece of advice:  keep homeschool planning simple, focused, and flexible.

Don't make it harder than it needs to be. Homeschool planning may look or sound like a piece of cake, but moms who've been there/done that know just how easy it is to complicate and overthink the whole process.

That's why I'm so relieved to have a resource that guides moms like you and me in creating a homeschool planning system that works for our unique lifestyles.

Be Prepared for What Life Throws at You

Oh, and another thing...life happens.

Family emergencies. Sickness. Unexpected visitors who pop up on your doorstep thinking you have all the time in the world because you're home all day.

Sure, you can take off now and again. And kids truly do learn a lot of interpersonal and life skills when dealing with family stuff.

But, when you make the choice to homeschool, you're responsible for the education of your children. Depending on the homeschool laws and requirements in your state, you may need to record and report academic progress, even provide standardized test results.

What should a conscientious homeschooler do? Be proactive and prepared with a solid framework to lean on when life gets busy and you're pelted with curveballs.

And that's why you need to master your homeschool planning with Put Your Homeschool Year on Autopilot 🙂
