Learn how to use the daily card method: https://simplyconvivial.com/indexcardvideo/This month we’re talking about daily cards, making a brand new to-do list every day with only 3 things on it. Was this something you jumped right into, were you skeptical, what has been your iteration experience with daily cards?Trisha is a Catholic wife and mother making a home and building a domestic church in Southern Arizona.They discuss the concept of 'daily cards' - a strategy that involves making a daily list of just three tasks to focus on. Despite initial skepticism due to its simplicity, Tricia shares how this approach has brought significant clarity and direction to managing daily tasks amidst the chaos of family life. This method encourages focusing on what's truly important each day to feel accomplished by bedtime. Tricia reveals her personal 'top three' tasks, which typically include homeschooling activities and meal preparation, showcasing the practicality of this method in homemaking. They also touch upon how the flexibility of daily cards helps in adapting to unexpected changes, emphasizing its efficacy in bringing structure, prioritizing tasks, and ultimately achieving a cheerful and grace-filled home management.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction01:14 The Concept of Daily Cards01:41 The Power of Three Daily Tasks04:26 Examples of Daily Top Three Tasks07:39 The Impact of Simplified Organization Community Coaching09:19 The Flexibility of the Daily Card12:33 The Daily Card as a Tool for Mindset Shift13:23 Conclusion: Winning the Day with God's Grace and a Post-itA couple months ago you finished community coaching and I just loved this bit from your final assessment! For your win that stuck most, you wrote: “Take a look at the situation, make a reasonable guess and  just start! It's actually a pretty novel idea to me that as my family grows and changes the systems I had in place don't work anymore and the answer isn't always as simple as 'just double the recipe' or 'just run another load of laundry.' I won't find an answer just sitting there wondering where all the groceries or underpants went.” That’s so hilarious and so relatable! I’d assume the daily card has been a tactic that helps with just taking a first step, any step, when you wake up and realize things aren’t working anymore, right? Mystie Winckler encourages moms to organize their attitudes and get traction at home so we are no longer overwhelmed or frustrated with homemaking.
