For several years I have updated my More of This and Less of This free printable. And this year is no different.

Today, I have ready the 2017 New Year New Goals Free Printable.

I love this form because it not only reminds me to keep goal setting simple and not pen in a lot of goals so that I can reach them, but more importantly, I remind myself to have Less of This.

It’s important to remind myself that some things I need to let go. I didn’t want to just have pie in the sky goals, but to be reminded to homeschool and live simply.

I can only do that when I let go of things that are not working either at the end of the year.

For some years, the goals have been to be less critical of myself, or to be less harder on my kids or to be less judgmental.

I hope you enjoy the form!

Free Homeschool Academic Year Calendar {2017 to 2018}

I’m always excited when I can start planning early for the next school year by having a new form and today I have the first free homeschool academic year calendar for the 2017 to 2018 school year ready.

Just as a reminder, I keep the choices for this academic year calendar form on Step 2 each year and I normally try to give you 3 smokin’ hot choices.

Curriculum Pages for Planner

Don’t forget this is JUST a calendar for you to glance at the school year and make a few notes at the bottom.

I also make a planning your school calendar which gives you room to plan your school year.

It is found always on Step 5a. Choose Unique forms JUST for You.

Look below at the picture (sample from previous year) below so you can see the fine, but huge difference between just calendars like the one I have today and an actual planning form with a calendar and room to plan your year.

This is a PLANNING calendar from Step 5a. So you want to get BOTH types of calendars.

Also, this calendar today is not for writing appointments because you can grab a huge 2 page spread for noting appointments on Step 2. Choose Calendar/Appointment Keepers. The current 2 page appointment keepers are kept there.

Look at a picture below of a 2 page spread calendar, which gives you room to write appointments.

I hope these pictures make it more clear that the calendar I have today is just that. It is perfect for glancing at the year and for reference in your planner.

Save it and print off as many as necessary when you print your planner.

I always have two or more spread throughout my planner. I put one close to my lesson planning section, one close to the front of my planner and sometimes I even put on in the back so I don’t have to hunt very long for it.

7 Step Free Homeschool Planner – Top 5 Questions Asked Are Answered

November 4, 2016 | 3 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

Today, I am taking time to answer the top 5 questions that I get frequently about the 7 Step free Homeschool Planner. Look at my pages Homeschool Planner and 7 Step Curriculum Planner for more forms and ideas.

I always, always appreciate your questions and because I don’t like you having to wait a long time for answers, I am rounding frequently asked questions here.

7 Step Free Homeschool Planner

And because I have a method to my madness, I hope these answers help you.

ONE/ What if I begin my school in a different month than when your printables begin in July and end in June?

I understand you may begin your school in August, September or even October, however, that is not when you begin to plan.

When setting up my organized system many years ago, it was and still is my goal to help you stay organized.

This means that generally, like most teachers, we should begin our planning months before we start teaching our kids.

However, because you get a full 12 months, it doesn’t matter when you choose to begin your school.

You can still use my forms by just starting on the month when you begin to plan.

By maintaining one month to begin (July) and one month to end the year (June, my system stays uniformed as I create hundreds of free forms across the 7 steps for you.

This would not be possible if I created forms to begin a year with May, June, August, September or even October because there is no way I could give you so many wonderful options.

TWO/ Do you create other sizes like A5, personal or mini pages?

No.

Most of my audience, like me, wants all the room they can possibly get to write down lesson plans.

My planner utilizes as much as I can get on a regular size page and still leaves room for coil binding.

I can see when you have only one child, you may not want all that room and I have a Unit Study Planner that has a unique lesson planning page which would work well for one child, but it is regular paper size.

THREE/ What if I don’t have a fancy printer? Can I still create this?

Absolutely!

I have used three very different printers over the years and the least and most inexpensive one does just as great of a job as my fancy HP one I had albeit the smaller one takes a bit more time.

Right now, I am still using the portable CANON PIXMA iP110 Wireless Mobile Printer I used when we moved overseas.

I still love it and have changed the way I do things.

Before we moved, I had an office in my house.

But when we traveled and stayed in different hotels in different countries, I got use to plugging up my printer anywhere I was sitting at and have loved the flexibility of moving around.

a-portable-printer-for-the-7-step-homeschool-planner

FOUR/ I’m having problems with my download.
Some of the numbers or boxes are missing. What causes that?

Most of the time, when your download is not printing correctly, it can be traced back to a problem with reader and browser compatibility.

Too, it may be because you use the default reader for the MAC or for a smart phone.

Adobe is a universal reader and Chrome a universal browser.

It’s always best to print from your tablet or laptop as phones can cause hiccups.

Maybe one day technology will make it all possible with no hiccups.

FIVE/ Do you recommend a binding machine or products for binding the planner?

Though I love all the easy binding machines now offered, the whole foundation of this planner is a DIY project.

This means using things that are easily found or relatively inexpensive, which is coil binding.

It shouldn’t take buying fancy office supplies to do that.

You certainly can invest in cool products, but again, my goal is that this planner can be made by anybody with minimal products to purchase.

Free Rolling To-Do List (for your Homeschool or Blog Planner)

October 27, 2016 | 1 Comment
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

Blogging goals are somewhat like homeschooling goals, but not exactly when it comes to meeting deadlines. As I homeschool, I only have the goals for my children that I want to meet.

As a homeschool blogger I collaborate with others. That means there are some deadlines, goals and tasks that need to be done, which are out of my control.

Also, some of the tasks that I need to do can wait for weeks and months and others need to be addressed quickly. Still other goals or projects require multiple steps that don’t necessarily go on the blog pages I use now for each month.

I know you don’t necessarily follow me because you blog, but I do know that certain times in your homeschool journey you have much to do as well and need a place to dump it.

Flexible Rolling To-Do List

So because I needed this form for my blog and I know you probably could use it too for your homeschool or blog, I am sharing this Rolling To-Do List with you freely instead of adding it to my Forever Blog Planner.

The reason I named it a rolling to-do list is because there is no date on it for each month. You just keep adding your to-dos and rolling them over onto the next page while you mark off what you have completed.

I will be placing my rolling to-do list pages at the front of my blog planner for now.

As I complete the tasks, I will check them off or put an arrow if I need to move that task forward to another page.

Like I mentioned, I can check off the list and keep using another page or rewrite a task if I want to onto another page.

It’s a place to dump all that is on your mind.

This rolling list just lets me keep on adding and scrolling through it and it is flexible. I don’t have to decide which month to put a task at the moment. I just simply note it to get it off my mind.
