Back-to-school season is undeniably a hectic time. From buying new school supplies to packing lunches and keeping the family organized, it is easy for our schedules to get jam-packed. To manage stress before it starts, it can help to create a rhythm that allows your family to operate with less pressure and more ease.
Not sure how to go about that? We came up with a few reflection questions, so you start contemplating how to approach the upcoming season. Pro tip: Remember to be S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) with your goals. Ask yourself:
- What organization systems worked well last year? What didn’t go as planned?
- How would you like to approach the season this year? Jot down a few goals.
No matter the approach, as long as you’re mindful, a little prep can go a long way.
