Dallas Nachtigall is an artist by training, a wife and a mom of three. As she researched homeschooling, she was thrilled to learn that art education, drawing, and nature journaling could be integral pieces of her kids' education.
So, at age 28, she picked up where her academic life had ended after college. She now teaches homeschool families around the globe drawing and art skills through video courses, podcasting, and in-person workshops. She loves the continuing challenge of self-education and the freedom to teach and work at home.

Dallas Nachtigall discusses time management and attitude management in this conversation. She emphasizes the importance of stewarding the limited time we have and mentions time boxing as a helpful method, where specific hours are dedicated to specific activities. Dallas acknowledges the need to keep returning to these habits and maintaining discipline. She also discusses the usefulness of a "brain dump" to manage her thoughts and emotions, which helps her gain clarity, work through issues, and recognize what needs to be prayed about. Recognizing the value of externalizing thoughts, she explains how it helps to reduce stress and anxiety.
