Back-to-School Organization Tips
for Busy Families
(StatePoint) The new school year brings
hectic mornings, piles of homework, end-
less events, practices, games and school
conferences. When you’re a busy par-
ent, day-to-day tasks can consume your
thoughts and energy. Stay organized and
sane by following these simple tips to han-
dle the crush of the school year.
Centralize Communication
Communication is key when it comes to
organization. Stay in sync with your fam-
ily by using a digital calendar. Smartphone
apps such as Hub allow multiple users to
share to-do and shopping lists, appoint-
ments, commitments and more. In addi-
tion, many apps have messaging capabilities
to ensure users can share specific details
and instructions (“Bring treats for the holi-
day party Tuesday”) and last-minute chang-
es (“Grandma is picking up the kids today”)
with one or more family members.
