Summary

After a three week hiatus, we’re jumping into practical ways to start preparing for fall while still enjoying what’s left of summer. Have you ever noticed how we tend to wait to get the school supply list or for our last trip to end before we think about what’s coming around the corner? In today’s episode, I offer a few tips on how to stop waiting for someone else to say go to keep our transition from summer to fall from feeling so jarring. Resources You May Find Helpful Make sure you’re on The Lazy Genius Collective VIP list before next month’s Latest Lazy Letter. It goes out on the first Wednesday of every month. Get a jumpstart on purging your house with The Lazy Genius House Purge and Reset the House Without Burning It Down. If you’re bored (or overwhelmed!) with cooking this summer, take a look at my Summer Dinner Queue that’s helping me getting dinner on the table until fall arrives. Here’s a helpful, but not at all comprehensive, list of school supplies you might need to replenish before the first day of school (or work). Brush up on some past episodes about routine and new seasons with: The Lazy Genius Morning Routine, The Lazy Genius Evening Routine, and The Lazy Genius Welcomes Fall. Now that we’re back from break, join me over on Instagram on Friday around 12:15 p.m. when I’ll be LIVE talking about being present this summer while preparing for fall.

It is so good to be back.

I have been off for three weeks after a scheduled bit of rest, which is something we really

should all do in like the tiniest and biggest chunks that we can.

We still have a decent bit of summer, right?

It's like the end of July.

But for some of you, school starts back in like only a couple of weeks and even if you
