Countless distractions and hindrances to the family\u2019s productivity are inevitable, from grumpy, unmotivated children to\u2014let\u2019s face it\u2014grumpy, unmotivated parents. That\u2019s okay! There\u2019s always tomorrow to finish your to-do list, so focus each day instead on what God brings to you.<\/p>\n<p>This means attending to each distraction, each hindrance, each grumpy child with love and compassion. Easier said than done, of course, but remember that this is one of the whole reasons you decided to homeschool! Even though to-do lists can be overwhelming (and seemingly never-ending), put your attention to what most matters\u2014raising your children to follow Him.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Focus on what really matters.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As if your to-do list wasn\u2019t long enough, go ahead and add two more tasks. Put them at the top of your list every day, so that you\u2019ll never forget to do them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Encourage the development of Christian character in your children<\/li>\n<li>Make the Lord known<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ema believes these should be given priority far above any academic to-do list. You might not be able to get your children to complete <em>all<\/em> their coursework for <em>every<\/em> subject <em>every<\/em> day\u2014certainly not their math homework, that\u2019s for sure\u2014but you do have the opportunity to bring your children up in a household that honors and loves God. Don\u2019t miss it!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sooo&#8230; How can I\u00a0get it all done?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To-do lists can be overwhelming, especially when tasks snowball into the next day and the day after that. However, try not to get discouraged if you aren\u2019t living up to the standards you set for yourself with these lists. As long as you are encouraging the spiritual development of your children and making the Lord known to them, you are doing enough.<\/p>\n<p>For Parts 1 and 2 to this video, you can find them <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/?s=how+do+you+get+it+all+done+in+a+day%3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> at out blog or in our video series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLu7awCNH6H5LiWN_0Zj_oZA0ib4aLYjHx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ask a Homeschool Parent<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ema Lopez, like so many other homeschooling parents, can never quite get it all done on her daily to-do list.
