That’s great parenting right there. We often don’t realize that we great frustrated with the kids over things that we totally have control over, especially our own emotions. This is something I’m really working on. Josh and Carolynn are a great example to follow.

Wonderful video! My wife and I both have 9-5 jobs and are really interested in Homesteading. I can see how a system like this keeps all boxes checked and chores organized. May God continue to bless you all. 🙏

I love the idea of the white board in the barn for everyone to use and check there chore lists.

This is so helpful. I am running things mainly solo over here trying to keep up with everything makes me feel like I'm drowning every single day. Lists have always been so important to me personally, so it makes sense that my kids would benefit hearing too. I don't know why i haven't thought of this before except sometimes you get so far into the weeds it's hard to pull back and see the big picture.

This management system approach, especially for those unfamiliar with your farm and goals for the farm, seems to be very helpful. I'm thinking of using it in my public high school classroom. Thank you.

When we moved into our house there was a huge chalkboard in the garage. Through the years I have used it to make my chore lists. From time to time I would draw something fun just to lighten the load! I recently chalkboard painted my milk house door on the inside . So useful for for my animal husbandry.

Wow that really a great idea! And a Dad wanting to enjoy his kids more than always being the bad guy is so important.

[nicoleheppner]

So relatable. We often are verbally telling or expecting things and it's frustrating on both sides.

Love it Josh! That’s great! Thank you for sharing :) would love more organization videos, including on business!

Great idea that simple to use!! Thank you

[sacredmommyhood]

This was so good and extremely helpful. I love the whiteboard idea and will implement this in our barn. Love these practical, "in the trenches" style of teaching videos. Blessings!

I have a small white board on the side of my fridge, nest to my primary work station counter top. It has my daily, weekly, monthly tasks... shopping list and reminders. As soon as any container gets used up it goes on the shopping inventory list. Once a month we assess animals for parasites, and trim feet (dogs and goats).

It is so kind of you to show all the things that have and have not worked for you and your family. Thank you!

[thestolhands]

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing where you struggled. This is a wonderful idea! My one suggestion would be for the weekly tasks. I could see things getting missed or it being difficult to remember the last time a weekly task was done. If you designated Weekly tasks to specific days, the kids could look at that and know what exactly needed to be done that day. For example Mondays - Feed Minerals and clean waterers Tuesdays - Add Shavings to Stalls and organize barn tools .
