All my children were included, from my 19 year old homeschool graduate who starts a Physical Therapy Assistant program later this month, 17 year old daughter who is a senior, 15 year old special needs (Asperger’s/ADHD) son, 10 year old daughter, 7 year old son and 4 year old son. We are starting back to homeschooling next week, and I thought this would be a great way to start the year off right! I prepared (looked up some references about elements of mysteries, which really took no time at all), chose a day (today Friday, September 5), then told my children a few days ago to keep myself accountable. I had been wanting to do this for a long time, but somehow it all clicked after hearing the podcast. Inspired by re-listening to your podcast about “One Thing” and also your blog post from August 27 (blog roundup where the family did a day of working on mysteries), I created a Mystery Day for us. It’s really not that hard and the rewards you will reap far outweigh anything I could have dreamed. I also wanted to encourage other homeschool moms to “go for it” and not put off trying it. I just had to share the glowing success of our “One Thing” Brave Writer day to thank you for the inspiration. Posted in Brave Writer Philosophy, BW products, One Thing | Comments Off on Don’t Do Everything If you notice flagging interest after a bit, then turn your attention to the NEXT product and do ONE small bit of that one.Įach product creates engagement with writing. If you find yourself really enjoying that thing, do it more! Don’t rush on to the next thing. So do ONE thing this month and shelve everything else. You will get so much value if you deep dive into ONE of the products and take it just ONE week or project or activity at a time. Then DO that thing without reading anything else, without planning anything else, without thinking about how it all fits together. Read the information at the front or in the guidelines or one chapter of the Writer’s Jungle. A familiar refrain I am seeing everywhere in the Brave Writer space: that you feel overwhelmed by too much to do.
