I was listening to a podcast by Jon Acuff the other day and he talked about how goals go through seasons...it got me thinking, because instantly it made me think of how children and parenting go through seasons, and so do our homeschools.All the time we envision and expect to find that perfect groove or perfect routine, the one where everything flows...once we JUST crack the code...Where we find this perfect groove, that's perfectly within our control, and nothing stressful or hard will happen.Life with kids is just too darn interesting to be like that though.And our homeschooling goes through seasons. Sometimes, it really needs to go through a "DONE" season.We typically hit the ground running in the summer or fall...we drink the kool-aid...we get that curriculum addiction high...we get ...Then our season changes as weather shifts and holidays arrive...The new year arrives usually with a new commitment and vigor for learning and routine, which carries us into spring. As spring weather and activities are in full swing, I feel myself slipping more and more into needing a 'done' day to look forward to.Deadlines are beneficial because they provide structure, direction, and motivation to complete tasks efficiently. What did I say was important at the beginning of the year, that has entirely fallen off the bandwagon?A break doesn't have to be the entire summer long. Our friend Katie runs an epic virtual Life Skills Summer Camp from June 9-13, where all the learning happens without any need for curriculum planning or oversight from parents. Your children watch really short, kid-directed videos, and always have a hands-on mission they carry out after. Life skills like cooking, sweeping, making deposits, creating business plans, and taking charge of their own homeschool days (I bet you'd never guess who made that one). In short.. You might just need a 'done' day in your life and homeschool this yearThe break doesn't have to be long.You can recharge, plan, dream, or just drink coffee.The break can still hold learning...or not.And you will ALL benefit from it. So go choose a date for your done day. Then email us or tag us on Instagram and let us know when it is!Links in this episode...Life Skills Summer CampFind the complete podcast notes on our website.To find The Deliberate Day on Instagram, click here.Looking for items shared in our podcasts?!

What if the difference between being good and being truly great was simply a mindset shift?Too many entrepreneurs and business leaders play it safe—setting goals that feel achievable instead of ones that push their limits. They stay “relatable” instead of aiming to be remarkable. But according to today's guest, Jon Acuff, real breakthroughs happen when you set goals that challenge you.Jon Acuff is an INC Top 100 Leadership Speaker and the New York Times bestselling author of ten books, including his most recent, All It Takes Is A Goal.In this episode, we break down why so many people settle for less than they're capable of—and how to break free from it. Jon shares how standing out beats blending in, how AI can amplify (not replace) your work, and why setting bigger, more challenging goals is the key to unlocking remarkable success. We also dive into the psychology of goal setting—why most people fail, how to tap into the right kind of motivation, and why belief follows action (not the other way around).3 of the biggest insights from Jon Acuff …#1.) Remarkability vs. Relatability—Why Playing it Safe is a MistakeMost people try to blend in, but standing out is where the real opportunity lies. Jon explains why financial advisors and business owners should focus on being remarkable rather than just relatable—because the people who get remembered are the ones who dare to be different.#2.) The Future of Content: How AI is Changing the GameAI isn't replacing creators—it's amplifying their work. Jon shares how he's leveraging AI to identify viral moments, repurpose content, and create more impact with less effort. The key? Using AI as a tool, not a crutch.#3.) Motivation vs. Belief—The Key to Achieving Big GoalsIs it motivation or belief that helps you hit your biggest goals? Jon breaks down the two types of motivation—fear-based and reward-based—and why taking action, even before you fully believe in yourself, is what truly leads to success.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/103FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get a free copy of Jon's book, "All It Takes Is a Goal: The 3-Step Plan to Ditch Regret and Tap Into Your Massive Potential" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "103" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

In a world that's focused on hustle and going harder, starting slowly is very counter-cultural, but I think it's the pace our souls were designed for.

Today I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Jon Acuff! If you don't know Jon, he's like the fun friend who makes you laugh but also slips in the kind of wisdom that makes you go, "Huh... I really needed to hear that." We covered everything from goal-setting and personal development to parenting in a way that doesn't drive us or our kids completely nuts. But what really hit home was our conversation about helping our teens win in life. Jon had a lot to say about recognizing that every kid's path is different. As parents, it's easy to think there's one formula to follow, but Jon reminds us that sometimes our job is simply to help our teens define their own version of success. Whether that's landing a part-time job or surviving Algebra 2, the goal is to meet them where they are and celebrate the small wins. He also emphasized the importance of creating space for kindness—because kindness isn't just a cute personality trait, it's a skill. And if we want to raise kind adults, we need to teach kindness now, even when it feels inconvenient (like when your teen is being throwing it down while unloading the dishwasher). Jon also introduced me to something he calls "performance zones." Basically, it's all about learning to function well even when life feels chaotic—which, let's be real, describes parenting perfectly. He reminded me that it's okay to embrace the craziness and find small ways to move forward. No need to have it all figured out today—or any day, really. And as parents, showing our kids how to handle that kind of chaos with grace is a huge part of preparing them for life. Whether you're looking to grow as a parent or just as a person, this episode is packed with insights you can use. Trust me, you're going to love it—and who knows? You might even feel a little more prepared to help your teen win at life, one messy, beautiful day at a time.     Cynthia Yanof Jon Acuff  How Teens Win by Jon Acuff Molly Stillman Podcast

What if you could reduce your risk of heart disease by 30% without a lot of effort? After all, it is the number 1 killer in the U.S. This episode begins with this simple little tactic – and by the way, it's all in your attitude. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/a-positive-mindset-can-help-your-heart-2019021415999 “Stop overthinking this!” You have either said that to someone or had someone say it to you. Overthinking is that process where you think through an idea or a goal or a career move over and over, imagining every variable and possible outcome. It doesn't help, it just makes you crazy and can really get in the way. So, when does normal thinking become over-thinking? And how do you stop it? Here to discuss this is Jon Acuff. He is author of 9 books including Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking (https://amzn.to/3f2FI9o). Several prominent thinkers and scientists have predicted that artificial intelligence (AI) could be dangerous. One fear is that we might create machines that are so smart and so sophisticated they could control us, instead of us controlling them. Could that be or is it just science-fiction? Might we one day create machines that think on their own? Probably not, according to Gerd Gigerenzer Director Emeritus at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the award-winning author of several books including, How to Stay Smart In A Smart World (https://amzn.to/3SnGADW). He also reveals how AI can change our behavior and how that is already happening. Fall allergies are a real problem for many of us.
