It's about that time again for some of us to return to school and get back into our routine. School can be pretty stressful, especially with Summer still on your mind, but with these tips, you'll be able to plan ahead and prepare yourself for your school day. Here are three key points to focus on these next few weeks as we begin to put our focus more on getting back to our studies.
Furniture
No matter the age, every student at every level needs a solid workstation. If you’re wondering where you can go to find your dream desk (or desk chair), a great local store to check out is Room&Board. This store offers free and easy returns, free design services, and shop now, pay later option through affirm. Luckily you won’t have to travel far to get to Room&Board, you can find this store in River North! Other stores to check out include Ashley’s Furniture, Target, and even Amazon.
Sometimes there’s no better way to shop than from the comfort of your own home, wouldn’t you agree? A great online source to find back-to-school essentials include Facebook Marketplace. This is a built-in feature attached to your online profile under the “marketplace” tab on their platform. You’ll have the freedom to search for any desk you’d like, and can adjust your search to focus on standing, compact, color, and more! You typically will find these items marketed down and can even try to purchase it at a lower price than listed. Just make sure to have your dimensions ready before you make your final decision!
Time Management
If you're one to struggle with time management, you should invest in a good planner. Planners can help you with setting “specific due dates and deadlines for everything to help you stay on track, and even have extra time left for yourself and your family.” Having something so handy available is intended to help improve productivity and relieve stress. You’ll always be able to see what needs to be actioned, and once there are no more tasks for you to complete, you’ll feel relieved and accomplished after your busy day. Don't forget to add a bright sticky note as one of your organization systems if you're all about color!
SLEEP
In order to perform well with your school, you have to get enough sleep! Studies say that healthy adults need anywhere from 7 to 9 hours of sleep, while those younger than 18 require more hours to enable their growth development. This will make your morning routines that much easier. Now is the time to ask yourself, are you getting the recommended hours of sleep by the National Sleep Foundation?
