Summary
The first few weeks of summer are almost always blissful, and the time seems to stretch ahead endlessly. We have plenty of days off in which we can afford to take it easy and not worry about getting things done. But in the back of your mind, you always know what's coming. You might be like many teachers, who start off the summer with a list of 500 things they hope to get done.

Join me today as I discuss how to prepare for school over the summer through 5 easy steps that will leave you feeling refreshed.
