MP 042: Family Routine

'Spend’ your time on paper before you ‘spend’ it in reality

“How do you do it?” People ask us this question all the time, so we finally decided to answer it, at least in part. In this podcast, we share why a routine is important and why families should budget their time, just as they budget their money. How do you make up this “budget”? Decide what your values are, then decide how they should be evidenced in your routine. As usual, we give some principles, and then some specifics on how you can make a routine for your family that reflects your values and ideals.

Discussion Questions:

1. What is our routine? Do we have a routine?
2. Does it align with our values?
3. What do we want to change about it?
