#1 - Look at your planner multiple times a day.
#2 - Do something from your planner after you look at it; let it guide your choices.
#3 - Keep your planner clear and simple.

It’s so tempting to think that the only thing keeping us from being organized is the layout of the planner page. If we just had that planner, then we’d finally have it all put together.
We spend time setting up or even creating from scratch what we hope will be our perfect planner that will finally work for us, but then it doesn’t.
No matter what planner you have, it won’t make your plans happen automatically. That will always take effort, time, attention, and intention – every day.
We need to not only have a plan, we need to look at it multiple times a day and we need to then do what it says. 

What is Simply Convivial: Biblical Homemaking, Homeschooling & Mom Life—Without Burnout?

Homemaking and homeschooling can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. If you’re a Christian mom longing for a well-ordered home, a peaceful homeschool, and a joyful heart—without the stress or burnout—you’re in the right place. Moms can be productive and peaceful when grounded in Scriptural truth.

I’m Mystie Winckler, homeschooling mom of five, founder of Simply Convivial, and your guide to managing both home and heart with faith and focus. Here, we talk about biblical homemaking, sustainable homeschooling, and cheerful productivity—all through the lens of organizing your attitude and embracing your God-given calling.

In each episode, you’ll find practical homemaking systems, homeschooling strategies, and mindset shifts that will help you manage your home without perfectionism or frustration. We’ll tackle topics like:
✔️ Christian homemaking routines that actually work
✔️ Productivity, mom-style
✔️ Homeschooling with peace—even when life gets messy
✔️ Time management for moms (without rigid schedules)
✔️ Decluttering your home & your attitude
✔️ How to be diligent, not just busy

Motherhood is a marathon, not a sprint. You don’t need more willpower—you need a grace-filled, biblical approach to managing life at home. Let’s cultivate faithfulness, embrace joy, and build habits that make home a place of peace and purpose.
