More people need to see your videos. You have taught me so much. The minimalist homeschooling has been huge for me. I need to work more on your block scheduling

This is probably one of the most valuable videos I've ever seen on KZfaq.

I have never even heard of this idea but in this moment right now my mind is completely blown!!! I think this might be the solution to my time management struggles! I always go to bed at night feeling as if the day just carried me along instead of me proactively choosing how my time was spent. I love the concept of glass versus plastic balls and the idea of staying off your phone for that morning/early afternoon chunk. It’s so easy to get distracted then seemingly all at once several hours have passed with nothing actually being accomplished. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and post!!!

Great advice! I think stopping the task at hand when the designated time is up - is indeed CRUCIAL.

Oh my... Praising God for finding your channel! I get so lost in my days, causing stress and overwhelm. I am going to learn more about this and try it. Would live to see a visual example of what your block schedule looks like 🤔 Thank you so much for sharing.

Really has got me thinking about block scheduling. I like the glass ball idea for priorities...prior I'd just try to do them anytime in the block but putting them first is key. The rest can wait. I wasn't able to see how to download the worksheet on your blog post. I entered my email and received your house cleaning schedule instead. Which is lovely of course too. Edit...I just received it in another email. Thanks!

Thank you for this! I know it’s been about a year since this video but I would really appreciate your thoughts on how to time block/manage my day with a full time 9-5 job which I work remote while taking care of my 8 month old. I am also trying to prepare for exams later this year. I am so overwhelmed all the time and feel like all my glass balls are falling and cracking. I’d appreciate any help you can give. Thanks in advance!

I’m struggling even coming up with a limited number or schedule. I have to cook 3 homemade meals a day due to food allergies and sensitivities (wheat, gluten, dairy, soy, food dye, grains- besides corn, and citrus). Plus, we don’t have a dishwasher and live in a RV, so only have one of each kitchen item needed. That means dishes have to be washed before another meal can be cooked. That’s 3 times of kitchen work, plus homeschool with 2 kids and a baby who nurses on demand, I haven’t figured out a time to do my pelvic floor therapy due to baby waking and I need at least 30 minutes for that since my prolapse is getting worse, and need to do the baby’s physical therapy and now weight for every feed due to issues he is having, and I need time to read my Bible and do our daily finances, plus regular cleaning. Any ideas for this mom with decision fatigue?

can you batch cook? have the same thing for lunch as you did for dinner the night before? as for bible you could listen to it while you do the dishes. as for homeschooling if you can cull it down to 3-4 days a week. as for prolapse have you heard of yoni eggs? they are fantastic for the use of healing prolapses, many women needed surgery used them and healed completely. As for finances and cleaning, just choose 10 minutes at a time. set a timer, don't stop until the 10 minutes is up. do that four times day and you are moving forward.

Seriously, thank you! I listen to podcasts or KZfaq channels like yours when I wash dishes, I didn’t even think of doing my Bible study! I try to have leftovers when we can but our pots usually only hold enough for maybe one or two people extra. Thanks for the idea with the yoni egg! I actually own three but it has been so many years I completely forgot what they are good for. I really appreciate your response and time. Keep up the amazing content!
