Description

This week, I’m answering a listener question that so many of us can relate to: How do you plan your homesteading projects? Do you have a calendar?


If you’ve ever bought all the supplies for a new skill—like kombucha brewing or sourdough baking—and then never actually started, this episode is for you. I’m sharing why it’s completely normal to go through different seasons in our homesteading journey and how not everything has to happen at once.


I also talk about how I personally plan and prioritize projects, the simple tools that help me stay organized, and how I find little pockets of time in my busy week (even with kids at home). From embracing the ebb and flow of energy to letting go of perfection, this episode is your reminder that your homestead doesn’t have to look productive all the time to be meaningful.


In this episode, I chat about:


  • Why unfinished projects are completely normal




  • How to think seasonally when it comes to learning new skills




  • The difference between passion projects and habits




  • Finding small blocks of time to get things done




  • My favorite planners and simple brain-dump methods




  • Giving yourself grace to grow slowly and sustainably
