School STUFF!

A new beginning a new school year, a great time to get a system that you trust!  

I loved my in box.  I dumped out the small pile of junk collected in there.  And then I put in the things that really needed my attention.  School papers!  

I filled out forms*.  I signed what I needed.  I scanned info.  I sorted things that were relevant and things that we junk.  It took about 15 minutes for 3 school kids.  I saved one paper that I needed to look at more closely and do something online with the computer.  

Then I had Stuff left over.  What was I going to do with the stuff.  It was important because it had information on it.  I had read through the class info, but I wasn't ready to throw it away.  It still had value, but I didn't want it crowding my counter space.  

Da da DAH!  Folders to the rescue!  

I just made three folders.  Kid #1 School Info, Kid #2 School Info, and you guessed it, Kid #3 School Info.  So now I have reference folders for the info that I don't need right now, but I might as the year goes on.

*lest you think I am some super crazy lady, I did let my kids watch tv and relax after school, and even let them play outside for a long time, and we got our 15 minutes of getting things done right before it was bedtime.
