[...] There are a million different methods. You could literally get lost in a sea of schedules. You also don’t have to stick with one set routine or schedule for the rest of your life. My routines and schedules have changed over the years depending on my current life circumstances. I would highly suggest you take a look at other people’s schedules and routines, but always with the thought in mind that what works for others will have to be tweaked for you and your family.

I’ll definetly be coming back to this in the future Amy! This is really encouraging and helpful as a beginning homeschooler. And since I have so many littles with changing schedules, I feel like I have to re-evaluate my routine every 3 months!

Also, I messed up my MckLinky (blushing) because I linked it to my general blog and not a specific post! Oops! So could you delete it and I’ll re-enter it the right way? Thanks!

I think its easy to become overwhelmed or bogged down in trying to make a schedule, but in the past few years that I’ve done it, I’ve found that keeping it as SIMPLE as possible is what works best for us. I’ve tried having everyone switching tasks every 15-30 minutes, and it gets too chaotic. So we just have an “order of service” so to speak, and go with the flow. Once we finish one subject, we move on to the next, no matter how long (or not) each one took. I liked up a post I did a few months ago about our most recent schedule, but even that has changed a tad!

I’m looking forward to your series of posts on this topic!
