Restore Sanity in Your Homeschool Schedule!
Use Scheduling to Create a Homeschooling Plan for Success
When you homeschool, it's important to take time to plan and rest, and not just work, work, work! Using schedules in your homeschool can help you avoid mom burnout.
As a (formerly) frustrated homeschool mom, I know that your goal is to end your homeschool days with:
your sanity intact,
well-behaved and well-educated children,
healthy eating habits,
responsible family members.
Incorporating schedules into your life can help you achieve these outcomes! When used as a tool and not a tyrant, a schedule can provide helpful sanity for a homeschooling household. Daily schedules showing planned assignments for school, menu and chores, and homeschool record-keeping can help make today's more manageable.

It was very basic. Probably great for a new comer, but I've been doing this a few years now. Good ideas, but nothing new to me. It was easy and quick to read.

Time Honored Tips for Educators
I read through this book every year as I prepare to plan my next year Home Educating.
As an Eclectic Unschooler, I find Lee’s advice both lighthearted and sage. Her words keep me on track as both a {Home} Educator, but also a woman who attends to my children’s needs, as well as my own.
I love her whole collection of Coffee Books! Thank you!

There are so many great tips in this book that I'm not sure where to start. They are so practical too. There were a few moments that I thought to myself, "Duh, this makes so much sense. Why did I not think of this before." I will definitely be re-reading this book in the future.

Wasn't what I expected
short and somewhat sweet I guess. was an easy read but not detailed. and more geared toward homeschool families with older children.

Nothing new and definitely takes ideas from other places. Not especially well written either.

Applicable good advice as always
I found Lee when I was about to start homeschooling high school. Her books have always provided a wealth of knowledge. This book is no exception.

Short, sweet, to the point. I appreciate that there wasn't any extra frills in this book. It gave some useful suggestions for how to keep a good homeschool schedule and how to stay sane. At the end there were suggestions from other homeschool moms. This one was my favorite:
"When I need a break I exclaim, "Time for P.E.!" and send the kids to the backyard until further notice."
The author talked a lot about having a relaxed schedule. You do not need to do it all. It's not healthy for you or you kids to go, go, go all the time, cramming as much into your day as possible. Everyone needs down time, and your kids don't need to be in every activity. It was a good reminder to me.
