This was so powerful. Wow!

The Art of Homeschooling is my favorite course!! This was so encouraging! Just what I needed to hear and be reminded of 😊The 3 Things to be ready was super helpful! (Note: Mystie, it seemed that there were ads in this video every couple minutes in this video, it really broke up what you were saying and made it hard to follow sometimes. Maybe you could move the ads to some natural breaks. CZcams must have put them in weird spots 😜)

I was so blessed to be part of a book club hosted by an older mom in our church. It was geared toward homeschooling moms but much of our conversation landed on homemaking. Sharing ideas and helping others troubleshoot was so refreshing. I need to suggest that she do your book next Mystie!

I was hoping you would suggest some ideas of consequences for not getting done by the deadline. Do you have that in another video?

Can you show more examples please.

Great directives! ❤

I believe you! 😂

Love how you described homeschool as an art and a dance .. that is beautiful!!

hi!!! yahhhh ohio! i want to move back!

Great video, thank you Mystie!

Great video, good ideas for my day job

Wonderful! Refreshing!! Off to buy your Convival Homeschool book! As a 14 year homeschool veteran, getting a hug every once in a while feels nice! Thank you!❤

Mystie do you have your plans for your Highschoolers listed somewhere?

This was so good! I’ve been thinking about joining your community for awhile now and after this video, my decision is solidified! In any of the workshops, do you discuss transitions? I continually have the issue of stopping and moving on to the next thing. It’s like when you get in a good groove and the kids are being amazing so you decide to keep going with whatever you’re doing. But then the rest of everything else is off track. It’s just a reoccurring issue for me and I’m wondering if you discuss this in any way? Also, I can’t get the CEODAY code to work. Does this mean it was for last Thursday?

I enjoyed this! I need help for a 8 yr old who will do the lesson fine, but his coming TO the lesson is awful :( I don't know what the consequence should be. it's been 2 years of bad attitude in coming to lessons .

Wow! I need a template of Lauren's husband's plan for her then forth grade son. I relate to that so much, but my son is entering 7th grade.

"Homeschooling belongs on the top three of your daily card." I live by this now 😆😀😁💜💖

So good! Thank you for sharing on CZcams!!💜💖 I feel like the things that I have learned through my own experience are the things that you teach. I haven't heard most of what you say elsewhere. It's so confirming to hear someone say what I've learned through my own 8 year journey. As well as me learning a ton from you on top of it! What I'm referring to is how you suggest allocating your time and just so many truths it's hard to sum up.

Thank you so much! This was so helpful. Love the budget analogy. I'm listening to this a second time to really glean all the good stuff ! God bless!

Wonderful and encouraging. Thank you for sharing!

Make an alignment card and tell me what you put on it and where you put it!

You obviously don't have ADHD if you can joke that, maybe you just need to write some things down... I don't disagree that our overuse of digital devices shortens our attention span and does cause ADHD symptoms in those that don't actually have it. But I dealt with enough shame and thinking there was something wrong with me prior to finding out I had ADHD that to have someone imply that maybe it's my fault and I just need to make a list, is super insulting.

I thought you were my age (34)- but you have grand-babies! (You look so young!) Thank you for this video-it’s just what I needed to hear!!

Wonderful, thank you! ❤

Loved this..

I'm not sure how to make a team.

Plodder has a negative connotation. Reframing/renaming the "plodder" as the Process person. 😊

Great for those without many things to do.

Hey, I saw a video of you with great tips. But I won't watch this one, because saturday is sabbath, a day to rest as God says in the Bible.

Hey Mystie! Wasn't sure best way to contact you. I just received your book from Amazon! I had hoped to read it along with my husband. I am chronically sick with 5 kids and pregnant. Our biggest marriage struggle is that he expect me to run a house well no matter how sick I get or feel. Dishes mostly done, laundry not piling, bathrooms always cleaned, spills always cleaned quickly etc... I end up just plodding and doing what I think is the most important (dishes, food, school etc...) and a lot of other things get done later. Anyways, I was hoping your book would help lower his expectations and encourage me to do the little I can better. Would you suggest your book for that? I'm just concerned after persuing is that he will say "see, you can do it all" you just think you can't. But its not true. I am limited and its just the way it is in this season. Any thoughts?? Thanks so much!!

Outstanding recommendations!

Does anyone do chores with their kids using index cards???

I've been reading Up From Slavery and Booker T Washington talks about how slavery was such a disservice to all Americans because it gave us a disdain for work. This video hit home today, thank you for saying our life isn't meant to be eating gravel. Thank you!

Beautifully said! 👏🏽👏🏽

Hey Mystie! Did you do 5 days per week for school or 4?? Thanks!

This is so good, so helpful and very, very practical!

Well stated

hey u ever want to do a study?

❤ love

This was really helpful. My perfectionism has made it very hard for me to get started on things (always stuck in the mode of waiting for the opportunity to plan it all out and make that colorful chart...haha) and then nothing gets started. I have attempted to start setting the timer for time increments, at various times throughout the day, and strive for just doing something (small as it may be) rather than waiting for the perfect time to finish it all. Just in the baby stages, but hoping it helps me grow in this area!

This is so great Mystie. So so helpful

I love this idea!

Hi❤ love your content all the time:) I have an unrelated question.. when you plan your days or your weeks, do you add your kids chores on your to do list??

💜💖

I would have loved examples of what the a "seed" would be, and what it would look like to grow that habit over time. I am having trouble figuring out what the seed would be to different habits I want to accomplish.

We've been homeschooling for 15 years and would switch back and forth from school schedule to year-round depending on our needs. We have a new baby coming in August (baby #6) and won't start the school year until after Labor Day and go year round. We will be taking multiple breaks throughout the year to give myself a rest. This pregnancy has been pretty rough and I don't want to overdo it. I have a 13 y/o that has learned to use my tiredness to her advantage. Gotta stay on top of it.

Thank you for these continual reminders 🩷

This hit me hard! I'm hopeful for change, can't wait to hear more.

Where can I find a calendar that sticks to the wall like the one behind Mystie?

Love this! ❤
