For Starters:
PREPARE: For me this means getting things in order and organizing. I have a lot I'm doing with service, home schooling, supporting my spouse, developing my personal talents, and trying to stay healthy. It feels like an overwhelming amount of balls to juggle, unless I organize and plan. If I can wrap up five balls in one big bundle I can juggle them at the same time. Organization does that for me.
First:
- Organize and declutter home
- Make and follow a financial plan
- Organize school supplies and curriculum materials, and manipulatives
- Make school schedule/ Plan calendar of events (check and make changes every week)
- Health Plan/ Schedule for my needs
- Health Plan/ Meal Planning for family
#1 Organize and declutter home
- Get rid of everything I don't need, don't want, and don't use. Donate, trash, recycle, or give away.
- Make a bin/bins for things I may use in the future (clothe's, shoes, boots, extra material etc...) Bin with similar items and label.
- Bin Seasonal items and label.
- Have a bin/memory chest for each child and myself for memorable items.
- Have a few bins for miscellanious school things.
- Get a file cabinet and label the files for important documents etc...

- Store all bins out of sight.
- Rid myself of extra boxes or find a place to nicely store them.
- Organize kitchen to my liking.
- Organize my basement storage area so that food storage is easily rotated and easy to get to.

#3 Organize school supplies
- Put a shelf in a closet and store school supplies.
- Have two large bookshelves to store books and curriculum in close to where we do school work.
- Make a list of home school supplies, laminate and keep it somewhere safe so I can check it often.
#4 Make a daily school schedule and plan our calendar of events
- Print out daily schedule and keep it somewhere safe. It's good to have it on hand for reference.
