With Your Rule
How Do I Find Time to Get Started?
Dear Holly,
I was fortunate to attend the recent Homeschooling conference in St. Louis, MO and greatly enjoyed hearing you speak. I've read your book all the way through once and continually pick it up to go through it in bits and pieces. I long for the balance and peace you found through your establishment of a Rule. However, with 6 kids, church work, homeschooling and just simply LIFE, I feel like I need a week to myself with no kids or husband bringing interruptions to get a Rule of Life in place. How do you, or others, suggest one contemplates a rule and then actually implements it amoungst the daily comings and goings? I find myself struggling to find time to even create a "To Do" list for each day, let alone the time it seems it would take to establish a rule.

Since what I accomplished living in a state of disorder was minimal, I decided, when I began my rule, that I had nothing to lose by taking a few weeks to drop everything that I could and work on my rule. The benefits of a rule are so pervasive to normal 'LIFE' , as you put it, that taking a spring break of a couple of weeks - putting the kids sorting their stuff and their bedrooms and helping you de-junk the house - would be a good start. In the evenings, dedicate yourself at this time to reflecting on those questions in MROL and actually writing it out, trying to implement as you go.
When I regularly reassess my rule, I stop everything and just do it. That way, I can focus, and I am not trying to accomplish too much at one time.
