Back to School Help

August 20, 2015 / Janice

It’s that time of year again! The school buses are rolling again or will be soon.

So I did a little research to find you a lot of helpful back to school tips. Since I’ve been writing this blog (and the old Organize By The Month blog) for seven years now I figured a good place to start was with the old posts.

I found a lot of helpful information plus many links to other sites and articles. Unfortunately there were several links that were no longer working.

Disruptions of Routines: Small, Medium, and Large, Part 2

Large Disruptions:

These kinds of disruptions will need to be handled in a totally different way. Most of these are either longer term disruptions (weeks or months) or complete life changing ones. Not all of these are bad events. But all will throw off your routines for a fair amount of time or require new routines.

Disruptions to Routines: Medium – Part 2

March 20, 2015 / Janice

In Part 1 of this blog series I talked about those small but annoying disruptions to our daily routines. If you missed it you can read it here.

Now I’m going to talk about those medium disruptions that have a tendency to throw off your routines for a least a day or more. Although they are usually temporary you’ll probably have to adjust your routines until the disruption is over.
