Simply Convivial: Biblical Homemaking, Homeschooling & Mom Life—Without Burnout

Making calendars work for real family life (with Michelle Arencebia)


Listen Later

Organize October happening now: simplyconvivial.com/october | Calendars only work if they’re kept accurate—and in real life, that takes iteration and flexibility. In this Simply Convivial podcast episode, Mystie Winckler talks with Convivial Circle mentor member Michelle Arencebia about how she keeps calendars updated in busy family life.

Michelle shares how linking calendars with her husband and adult children cut down on confusion, why she enters events right on her phone the moment she hears about them, and how she uses weekly dashboards and interval calendars to keep the bigger picture in view.

We also talk about:

What to do when other people don’t update the shared calendar
How vocation shapes what belongs on the calendar
Why iteration matters more than the “perfect” planner system
Using alignment cards as quick reminders when life doesn’t go to plan

Whether you use Google Calendar, a wall calendar, or a printable dashboard, the point is to keep it simple, stay cheerful, and keep adjusting.
