How to create a custom schedule that works for you<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pay attention to your most productive time a day<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What time of day is your most productive? Do you get the most done first thing in the morning? Or do you work best just after lunch. Pay attention when your motivation and attention are high. This is your time!<\/p>\n

Make a list of your top 3 (or 4 at most) priorities<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What are your top daily priorities? It might be the same every day, or it could change daily (or weekly or monthly). It could be chores, like laundry and dishes. Or it could be self-care items like exercising. Or it could be homeschool activities. Whatever it is, these are the items that must get done. They\u2019re essential for your family\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

Write down your child\u2019s schedule<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your schedule will be dictated by your child\u2019s schedule. If you have a little one, their nap times and meal times are usually the drivers. If you have school-aged kids, their school schedule will be the foundation of your schedule. Get their activities on paper.<\/p>\n

Build your schedule around your child\u2019s schedule, placing your priorities in the most productive part of your day<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now, it\u2019s time to fill in your plans around your child\u2019s schedule. I find it easiest to batch tasks and put blocks of time in my schedule (i.e. a chore block, a self-care<\/a> block, a work block). But you could schedule individual tasks if that works better for you.<\/p>\n

Live the schedule for a few days, and make adjustments<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You have to live the schedule for a few days to know if it\u2019s going to work for you. Use a planner if that\u2019s helpful, but try to stick to the schedule as close as possible so you can tell if it\u2019s going to work! Make adjustments as necessary.<\/p>\n
