The Secret to Homeschool Consistency: Minimum Viable Days


Listen Later

Are you ready to tackle consistency in your homeschool? In this episode, I’m joined by Dawn Garrett to talk about one of my favorite tools: the Minimum Viable Day (MVD). We share how this simple concept helped us overcome perfectionism and establish daily momentum in our homeschools. Learn how to identify what truly matters for your family, create a flexible fallback plan, and build trust with your kids—all while simplifying your homeschool days.

Key Takeaways:

  • What a Minimum Viable Day is and why it’s a game-changer for consistency.
  • How MVD evolves with your homeschool season and supports your unique needs.
  • Practical tips for creating your own MVD and sticking to it.
