From the Desk of Janet Barclay

I was recently exchanging emails with someone about the upcoming Labour Day weekend, and was surprised that she was looking forward to it, because I’ve always associated Labour Day with the end of summer. After giving it a little thought, I realized that’s only true if you go to school, work in the school system, or have kids going to school, because the good weather can last well into September (and even longer in some areas). For example, I went to Nova Scotia at the end of September last year, and the weather was delightful. Thanks to that somewhat random diversion from our work, I’ve been able to change my outlook, and can look past the gloomy weather I see through my window to the warm and sunny week ahead.

If you’re getting your family ready for back-to-school, you might enjoy my latest article about Creating a Home Study. Even if “back-to-school” isn’t a part of your life, you’re sure to experience some changes in routine when September hits, so this can be a great time to put some new systems in place, and my latest post at OnlineOrganizing.com will help you find The Answers to Your Office Organization Challenges.
