Put high priority weekly and monthly activities on a weekly schedule worksheet first—things like library days, homeschool co-op, music lessons, sports practices, and grocery day. Consider grouping some regular “out-of-the-house” activities on the same day.  Look at days without outside activities and the time between commitments.Those days and those blocks of time are the time you can help your child learn at home.  If you are using curriculum, space lessons out in the available time, leaving time for meals and breaks. If you are using an interest-led or project-based approach, you’ll want a more fluid schedule that includes time to gather resources or meet with mentors.  If shift work and employment are part of your picture, you’ll account for work schedules, so you can homeschool around work commitments.  We have example schedules in this post for many different scenarios, and our free printable with example homeschool schedules includes blank worksheets you can customize with your activities.
