Well the time is almost here to begin home schooling for the new year. This past school year was wonderful and so much so that I actually gave my children a break for the summer. We usually school through the summer, but decided to give them a break which in turn gave me a bit of a break too.
But, of course instead of relaxing and basking in the sun, I occupied my time with blogging, network marketing, developing my freelance writing business and so much more. I loved the time I had available to develop all my latest projects but the time has come to organize. Looking at my calendar, I realized that I have only several weeks left to develop our school plan for this coming year. I also must develop a time for me to continue writing and building the projects I have started to date.
I have decided to not only write out a schedule for the children but one for myself as well. I have to determine the time to school, and the time to write and work on my projects, as well as work in our office and manage the household. Sounds like fun, right? Well, I will let you know if I can manage all of it.
So, far I developed a chore schedule for the children which of course they are not to happy with, but it will make it easier for me to keep up with all the other duties on hand.
I also developed a time schedule for myself that will go into place when I begin home schooling for the year. I have limited my time on the computer to certain hours of the day. I will determine if that will work for me in a week’s time and will adjust as needed.
I have also decided to close my jewelry business so, will be selling a lot of my jewelry, beads and supplies at a fraction of the cost. This will enable me to re-arrange my studio and make it more into a library with book shelves and more writing space. I will also use my library as a place to teach my children on a one-on-one basis, where more privacy is needed.
The time to organize is now. This will enable me to work more efficiently and not neglect projects or activities because of lack of time. I will keep a well written schedule with all my duties, activities, and projects to make my life easier and more enjoyable. I look forward to a new school year filled with great activities, field trips, new supplies and new subjects to teach and learn.
The Chronicles continue….
