“Multitasking is something you should avoid. Our brains don’t like jumping from one thing to another.”

Charlotte Jones & I discuss:

• The number one issue is that she engages with other working homeschool moms: managing our time.
• Her experience of deschooling from school-at-home.
• There’s value in doing a time audit as a homeschool mom.
• The myth of multitasking and its ineffective, unproductive nature.
• The value of time blocking and teaching your kids about time blocking.
• Assess your values to determine if the activities you participate in align with your values.
• What she’s learned about herself as she homeschooled.
• How to find time for the kids while you’re working.
• Use alarms placed outside your door so the kids know you’re presently unavailable.

How does Charlotte Jones encourage homeschool families?

• You need to find a community so you don’t feel alone, especially as you’re homeschooling and working.
• Homeschooling is open to many opportunities, you just have to open your mind to the possibilities.
• Your growth mindset is the most important thing when you begin the homeschool journey.
