Ep. 131 Homeschooling and Working Only 15 Hours a Week

One of the number one questions I get asked when people find out that I homeschool my kiddos and only work 15 hours a week is, they want to know, how in the heck do you do it all? And the answer really, honestly, is I don't, and I can't. And I'm not perfect, and I'm still learning.
In today's episode, I really just want to get personal with you. I want to let you in on a little bit about my life and how I navigate both homeschooling and working only 15 hours a week.

Ep 127. How to Actually Implement What You Learn

Calling all cereal content consumers.
 
This episode is for you if you find yourself taking in a lot of knowledge, tips and strategies, but then find it really hard to implement all the things that you're learning.
 
I recently spoke at the Noobie photography conference hosted by Nathan Holritz. And I heard that only 5% of people who attend conferences actually go home and implement anything they learn.
 
This is at a conference that someone has paid for. I can only assume that the statistics are much lower when it comes to consuming free content like this podcast episode.
 
So today, I want to share with you a few things that I've learned over the years as a student, and now as an educator that have helped me actually implement all the things that I'm learning.

Learn to manage your time more efficiently.
