Daily Lists
As my girls have gotten older, we've moved a lot of our groupwork to a screen. Most of our mornings consist of me sitting at my computer, which is in the corner of our homeschool room and hooked up to our TV with an HDMI cable. Also at my desk is our stack of read-alouds for history and science. If it's something just to listen to, my girls will often find something to keep their hands busy, or else we're watching videos for science or something on the screen. Having our lists be digital so I can access them easily from my computer has made things go much more smoothly each morning!
This is my favorite tool. You can name each list and add items. You can check or uncheck each item. The lists will stay as long as you don't clear your cookies. And you can use the same lists each day by just checking or unchecking all.
And the lists are flexible. They aren't great on a mobile device yet, but I might fix that in the future. But you could use them by person, or by day, or by subject. They can be as long as you need them to be.

This is my kids' favorite tool ;) We've gone through several iterations of this idea, but now we're almost entirely digital since they're older and don't need as much tactile encouragement! Check out my free motivation page!

Just for fun, I've created a notes page that you can jot down some thoughts:
