This is the very latest we have waited to get a year end evaluation. I say we but should say I. Yes, the year has been busy. In fact, it's been bursting at the seams. Procrastination is alive and well in our home. Last year is over lapping the planning of the coming year. EEEK.
I have to create accountability in my life. Not fun to live out. It is the best way to deal with my tendency to slump into procrastination. The lack of clear priorities through out the year duel with procrastination letting chaos reign.
These are really the same problem I struggle with in my life. Two sides of the same coin, so to speak. Homeschooling is a magnifier of mom's personal issues. The blessings of homeschooling just keep coming, don't they! To think, I could have gone my whole life without ever realizing my potential to procrastinate.
The truth is homeschooling deals with an enormous amount of tasks, time, obligations, thinking, and stuff. Checking in with the Savior is the only way to the peace that not only passes understanding but frees my mind to think. Real thinking for priorities and goals. It is the way to rescue me from the dust of procrastination making my life only sneeze.
As a devoted homeschooling mommy I want to do it all. However, trying to do it all is a perfect recipe, to do not much at all. I challenge you and myself to refine the goals for the up coming year and make a clear priority chart.
We are going to make a priority chart to show the Little Women the reason for decisions. I'm considering a ladder but have not settled on it. Having a visual before me will be the accountability I need in a proactive way, while my heart is still light and not weighed down with the paralyzing dust.
Well I am happy to say, "Check on the evaluation!" Long over due....I am ready to press forward with enthusiasm. It's a new year for MOMMY!
