It’ll be here before you know it: the first day of school. Like clockwork, it appears out of nowhere and signals the end of those blazing hot, carefree summer days and the beginning of homework and after-school activities among other things.  Whether you have children or not, fall can be a time to reorganize your home and work life for greater productivity and to better prepare for the quickly approaching holiday season!

We’ve found some great products for kids of all ages to help make some simple changes for organizational success!

• Be Prepared! Having children’s clothes chosen for the week helps save time and hassles in the morning. Try this great Day of the Week Hanging Shelf!

• Communicate! With the changing of the seasons and schedules becoming more hectic, it’s important for families to keep tabs on who’s doing what. A great way to do this is having a central “Communication Center” where each member of the family can leave notes and other important notices for each other.  The Container Store has a wide selection of message boards in every different material and color. We like the simple, modern Black Recycled Rubber Bulletin Board–keep in touch and keep Mother Earth happy!

• Study Time! As we all know, homework is just a part of life. But it doesn’t have to cause undo stress on children or parents! The first step to making your child’s study experience a good one is to provide him or her with the perfect work area.  The Study Zone desk system by Elfa (found at The Container Store) is sleek, sturdy, and, best of all, can be customized for your child or children’s academic needs. Check it out!

• Time for a Break! You have to make time for yourself, especially during the school year. Get out of the house and hit the yoga studio or gym.  You may have your yoga mat handy, but check out these great yoga scrap pouches that can carry your keys and phone.

  We hope these tips help you make it through the first day of school in one piece! Just remember to prepare, communicate, and take a break!
