31 time saving tips for the homeschooling work at home mom

(Links in this post are affiliate links. I will be compensated when you make a purchase by clicking those links. See my disclosure page for more information)

I have been a work at home mom for over 16 years. I have been a  homeschooling work at home mom for 11 years.

In those years, I have held many jobs, including daycare, reselling on eBay, renovating homes, land-lording, blogging and writing a book. 

I  engage in a lot of money-saving yet time-consuming tasks to stretch my family’s earnings, such as cooking from scratch, making homemade cleaners and shopping frugally.

Plus I  have trained for and ran four marathons. 

My days are not perfectly managed. I still get stressed. Things still get left undone. Yet most days I feel like I live my life in balance thanks in part to the time-saving tips I have picked up through the years.

Two Courses That Have Helped Me Find Time In My Busy Day To Work And Homeschool

Thanks to the information found in these two courses mentioned below, I was able to find an extra hour or two each day to work on my blog, which now provides my family a stable part-time income (equivalent to what full-time minimum wage earners make in our state of Indiana).

49. Make Over Your Evening

    31 days! That’s a monster of a task, but this topic is something I need to read. How long have been a WAHM? I’ve been homeschooling for 4 years. Well, we’re in our fourth year now. AS I continue to grow my blog and try to do more with it, I find myself struggling to juggle the tasks of HSing and everything else. Do tell! Stopping by from HHH! 😉

      I have been a work at home mom since my first son was born over 16 years ago. I started out doing day care, until we decided to homeschool, after that I have done several different things. This year I jumped into blogging.

    I would have been lost without #15. Math was unbearable for my son and I to get through with ease… so I tag teamed with my husband once he got home. Great tips!

      My husband does that for me with science. Rarely can I ever get an experiment to work right so now they just do them with their dad when he is home.

    Great list of time saving tips, Victoria. I would say that one of the great ways to save time is having a daily to do list. It can help you stay focus on tasks and get things done. Another great way to do to save you time is to organize your to do list depends on priority level. Then, set an estimated amount of time when working on each tasks. Just like what I personally do as a freelancer. I use this tool Time Doctor that helps me manage time. The key that I can follow scheduled tasks and finish it on time is with self discipline.
