Whether your kids have already started school or if you still have several weeks left to your summer, it’s never too late or too early to begin to set your stellar student up for success this school year. 

When you child comes home from school, does she know where her backpack and lunch box live?  These items should have a regular landing zone.  It could be a hook next to the child’s desk in her room or in a cubby by the entry door.  Having a consistent place to put these items will make them easier to find and cause fewer headaches during that mad dash out the door in the morning.

Simplify your social media! How do you decide who to follow on Facebook or Twitter?

Before you follow or accept that friend request, check out the posts that the business/person/group has made. Are they informative, helpful, or entertaining? If not, don't follow them or go back and unfollow them. Their posts will just be visual clutter on your newsfeed or Twitter feed.

Tuesday Tip: Control those cords! Keep cables and chargers of the camera, phone, iPod in labeled ziptop bags. Also label the cable itself. No more guessing - what is this cord for? Have some you can't figure out? Put them in a box on a shelf and mark the box with a date 6 months from now. If in 6 months you haven't needed them, you can live without them!
