May Madness
SkillSet Organizing May 2015 e-Newsletter
The Rush Into Summer
I don't know about you all, but for me March is a cakewalk compared to May. With all of the end-of-school events, graduations, performances...not to mention getting summer vacation plans lined up - it ends up being one of my craziest times of year. What are busy people to do in order to get all of those details and last-minute requests organized before summer hits? Here are a few ideas:
- Pull out the calendar (use the whole month view if you use a digital calendar) and be sure all May events, practices, parties and commitments are included.
- Do the same thing for all summer camps, parties, vacations, volunteer work, and deadlines through the first of August.
- Take a day or two before the hottest weather hits to clear out your vehicles, garages, outdoor sheds and storage areas.
- Get those gifts for teachers and other special people well ahead of time.
- Shop for the summer/outdoor things you need: things like sunscreen, towels, citronella candles, travel-sized items, and grilling supplies. DON'T SHOP WITHOUT A LIST.
- May is National Photo Month - take a little time to organize the photos from the past academic year, even it that means just designating a box with the appropriate dates. Get rid of duplicates or photos you just don't like.
