5 Key Takeaways:

Being forced to leave your job and suddenly homeschool kids is scary, but you can get through it by just taking "the next best step forward".
Look at how you're spending time each day and seek small pockets where you can work smarter, like outsourcing chores.
Manage your family like a business - create a family mission statement, assign roles and responsibilities.
Asking for help doesn't mean failure - you can't do it all alone. Outsource what you can.
Celebrate small wins - you don't have to be perfect, just consistent and disciplined in moving towards your "why".
