Do you remember when school holidays were all about freedom… until homework crept in? Well, who would have thought that we’d one day start giving ourselves homework for fun? Enter the most delightful autumn slow living trend I’ve discovered yet: the “personal curriculum.”
✨ Thanks to my subscriber Rose (thank you!) I’m diving into this beautiful idea — where we design our own “lesson plans” around subjects that spark joy. Whether that’s knitting, cosy mysteries, or even the art of doing nothing, a personal curriculum lets us rediscover learning on our own terms.
In this video, I’ll explore:
🌿 What the personal curriculum trend is (and how it started on TikTok)
📚 Why slow, intentional learning can combat “brain rot” and sharpen our focus
🧶 My very own autumn curriculum plan (including Project Poppy with my Knit & Natter community!)
🍵 Practical steps to create your own: choosing subjects, setting seasonal goals, creating assignments, and gathering resources
☔ How embracing curiosity, structure, and quiet learning can become an antidote to overwhelm
This isn’t about productivity or perfection — it’s about curiosity, slow living, and making space for the kind of “homework” that genuinely nourishes the soul.
So, grab a cosy drink, light a candle, and let’s plan our autumn term together. 🍂
