It's that time of year folks. We've got one last weekend to prepare for the homework and backpack onslaught. If you're not busy enough, going to the fair, buying back-to-school clothes, here's a few simple tips that can ease the transition into school time:
*1 - Go Green! www.thegreenoffice.com is a website that offers green school supplies, office supplies and even webinars (seminars on the web) about such things as "Greening your Office" and "Green Purchasing". Stop over there and receive free shipping on orders over $49.
*2 - Save Paper - Get a reusable lunchbag or lunchbox. We love the one over at www.treehugger.com made by BYO. A neoprene core, these lunchbags zip closed and can fit a wide variety of lunch containers and drinks. Best of all--it will only set you back about $20. Bonus: You're saving the planet. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005/04/byo_lunchbag_la.php
*3 - To Each His Own - After work, you're busily cooking dinner, desperately trying to get it on the table (and eat as a family) before your yoga practice. You are carrying the sizzling stir-fry to the table when you call out "Johnny!" He's done it again, left his papers and homework strewn all over the dining room table! Don't let THIS happen to you! You don't have your cube in the break room, so why not make sure you're little scholars have their own desk. Sometimes space doesn't permit, or you need them within earshot to field math questions, but if you're willing, studies show, having your own workspace makes you more productive. Here's a workspace for back-to-school that may inspire you!
We hope these few tips will have you sitting at the head of the class this year!
As always feel free to email us with your organizing and simple living questions--We'd love to hear from you!
