With a well-created and honest priority list and schedule in toe, it is time to look at your daily efficiency. Are there things that you can do that you can help you cut down on time spent? For example, is it more efficient to e-mail all of the group members or is it more time consuming to call them all? Is there a faster way that you can drive to the library or is there a time of the day when the library trip can be rescheduled and the traffic isn't as heavy? This step, essentially, encourages you to look over your schedule and see if you can find extra or free time by finding ways to make your tasks more efficient.
One of the most important tips in helping to balance being a home school teacher and leader, is to be consistent. Consistency allows moms the opportunity to finish the goals that were predetermined to be accomplished in the schedule. The consistency factor makes it easier to complete tasks as scheduled and it assures that moms do not have to postpone any lessons to the following day or next week or be late in coming up with field trip ideas for a committee that you head. Consistency, also allows you to stay in control of your schedule, while creating room for fun and free time.
As more and more home school mothers join the ranks of home school leaders, certain priorities, goals and objectives must be set in order to be able to do both successfully especially since both roles are particularly demanding. These four easy steps: make a priority list, create a schedule, be efficient and be consistent will do much to assure that children are afforded ample teaching time and the support group is also given 110% of your efforts.
