But each scheduling column on the page only includes the day of the week, not a hard-and-fast date. At the top of each weekly scheduling page is a small month-at-a-glance calendar to provide a bird's eye view of the month. Unlike most planners, the Brave Homeschool Planner provides days, not dates. You could write down the lessons you hoped to accomplish on a particular date and then work yourself into a tizzy to complete all those lessons on that date in order to not get behind your plan OR worse yet, you could write down the lessons, not complete all of them on the date you had hoped you would, and then spend the rest of the year feeling a few days ahead in some subjects and a few days behind in others.īut, with the Brave Homeschool Planner, there's a Door Number Three. It's firm but flexible.In the past when you've used homeschool planners, you were probably faced with two scenarios. Please see my disclosure policy for full details.)
It did the job, mind you, but was so aggressively average looking that I may as well have been using a spiral notebook to schedule our days. But just like those, the planner could not inspire or excite me. Workaday, you might say, like orthopedic shoes and brown paper lunch sacks. It was a bare-bones, basic planner-everything I thought I needed. Then, I stumbled upon another popular planner. But all the time spent logging unnecessaries seemed like such a waste. FOMO sometimes guilt-drove me to fill in the blanks. And while I was happy with the basic set-up of the planner, I always felt a wee-bit burdened by the pages and pages of extras that I never really used.
For years, I used a popular homeschool planner. Some time ago, I made the decision to paper purge. I prune away any non-essentials.of my time, of my home, of my school. And so I purge all the extras, guilt-free.
I'd rather focus my effort on things that bring me joy and add, not detract, from my day. As a busy, work-at-home, homeschooling mom, I don't have time for that.
They require work, rob me of my energy, and breed unnecessary guilt.
