118. Staying Consistent on the Hard Days  
Podcast: School to Homeschool
Published On: Mon Sep 29 2025
Description: Listen in as we explore the concept of "minimum viable days" in homeschooling, a strategy designed to maintain consistency and sanity on those challenging days when just keeping the kids fed feels like an accomplishment. Drawing inspiration from seasoned homeschooling experts Pam Barnhill and Cindy Rollins, we discuss how to identify the bare minimum tasks, such as reading, writing, and math, that can make even the toughest days feel productive. This approach ensures that core learning continues despite life's unpredictability, helping to achieve homeschooling goals with peace of mind. We also touch on the importance of personalizing this concept to fit each family's unique needs and avoiding the pitfalls of comparison.
