47. Is Your Morning Destroying Your Day? How to Fix Your Morning Routine as a Working Homeschool Mom

Does your morning feel like it's always falling apart? 

As a working homeschool mom, your morning has a lot riding on it. You’re getting yourself ready, getting the kids moving, starting homeschool, managing your home, taking care of yourself, and trying to make time for work—all before the day has really begun.

But what if you don’t need a perfect morning routine? What if you simply need a routine that actually works for your family and the season you're in?

Today we are talking about morning routines.  I’m walking you through my own morning routine and what I’ve learned about creating a morning that doesn’t leave me feeling behind. I am also going to help you identify the parts of your morning that are destroying your day. 

We’ll talk about why predictable routines matter, how to give your kids more responsibility in the morning, and what you can do the night before to make mornings easier.

I am going to show you five steps you can take to build a morning routine around the life you’re actually living, not the life you think your morning is supposed to look like.

Your Simplified Step This Week

Don’t try to completely overhaul your morning tomorrow.

Instead, figure out what the one thing is that consistently makes your morning harder. I am telling you in the episode what the one thing in my morning routine was that was derailing my day.

Ask yourself:

What could I change, prepare, delegate, or eliminate to make this easier?

Start there.

You don't need a perfect morning. You need a rhythm that helps you and your family. 

A simplified morning isn't about fitting more into your morning. It's about removing the chaos so you have more time for what actually matters.
