I appreciate your perspective on discbound systems. I have always looked at them with that confused dog crooked face, not quite grasping what made them special. But I get it now!
Also your rundown of the tending list and how it motivates you was very helpful. Silly that I have been intimidated by it. I like how you wrote in some of your own benchmarks in the bars. I was thinking of making a form for this to use for all the multi-step projects that come along, similar to a unit study planner page for homeschool.
Thanks, Leslie! Since you already have a coil binder, I don't know if the discbound is so special... I assume you just use the machine to open the coil to rearrange the pages? The discbound allows for a bit more manual "tearing out" and "popping back in" without a machine. (hehe dog crooked face)
I'm glad my explanation of the Tending List was helpful! I can't wait to see what you do with yours. (And I'm so proud of you for loving yourself in buying it and writing in it!!!!)
Tell me more about this form.... and the unit study planner page. :)
I love your monthly review questions and may need to steal–I mean, borrow–those to try out! Also love this:
And when I notice a completely blank bar, it’s an invitation to ask myself, “what is the tiniest next step I can make?”
I tend to see that blank bar in my tending list and see failure, so I like this idea of letting it be an invitation to take a tiny step to fill in even a sliver of it to denote progress! 💕
(Small editor's note: at the end you say you "pickled up" something from Leslie. 😉🫶🏻)
Tabitha: ABSOLUTELY you should try out those review questions. :) It's funny you even mention that you could be stealing them, because I already stole them from multiple places on the internet. And also clearly I have "borrowed" Powersheets from you and others. ;p
I look forward to hearing how the tiny steps questions helps you in the coming weeks!
(And omg thanks for the edit. It was funny, but now it's fixed!)

And love the What About Bob baby steps!

Tabitha, I’ve viewed those blank bars as failure, too! I love Lisa’s idea to see the them as invitations and then take (and track) tiny steps.
Yay! Seriously, it's all about the tracking.
I agree--it was the line about the blank bar being an invitation that helped me feel less intimidated about the tending list.
Yay! I can't wait to see what you start tracking on your tending list :)
