Tips

rom Cynthia Ewer

By Cynthia Ewer

Editor, Organized Home

Move over, summer--a

new school year is coming!

With the start o school, amilies

ace new organization challeng-es. School bells ring--and so do

early-morning alarm clocks. Pa-

per piles swell as hand-outs and

homework stream into the house.

Shorter autumn days bring a hectic

round o sports, activities and events,

and calendars ll with cryptic notes.

Can the holidays be ar behind?

Get organized now or the best

school year ever! Use these ide-

as to prepare your home and

amily or the busy days ahead:

Ease the amily into a

school year schedule.

The rst day o school is no time or

a drastic adjustment o household

sleep schedules. Instead, ease chil-

dren back into a school year routine

gradually. During the last two weeks

o summer, re-introduce a school

year bedtime. Begin waking late

sleepers earlier and earlier, closerto the hour they'll need to rise when

school begins.

Don't neglect mealtimes! Young-

er children, in particular, need to

adapt to new meal routines beore

the school day demands it o them.

Plan meals and snacks to accustom

little ones to rituals o the school

day beore the school year begins.

Create Calendar Central

Each school year oats on a sea

o schedules. School unctions.

Lunch menus. Scout meetings and

music lessons. What do you do

when you're drowning in paper?

Nothing calms school year chaos

like Calendar Central: a central-

ized site or all amily calendars and

schedules. You'll need a amily event

calendar to track ater-school activi-

ties, school programs and volunteerwork. Add specialized calendars and

schedules, and you have it: a one-stop

shop or amily time management.

Form is less important than unc-

tion. A paper calendar with large

squares lets you enter inormation

easily. Pre-printed white board cal-

endars are easy to revise when nec-

essary. Color-coding entries by am-

ily member helps keep busy lives

straight.

Paper planner ans dedicate a plan-

ner section to serve as CalendarCentral, while tech-savvy cybergr-

rrlz store the ino in a smart phone

or tablet and sync with multiple

computers. Choose a calendar or-

mat that works or your amily.

Post the amily event calendar in a

public place near the telephone. Use

magnets to attach the calendar to the

rerigerator, or tack it to a bulletin

board.

Add other calendars to Calendar

Central: school lunch menus, class

assignment sheets, sports practice

schedules. When the room mother

calls or eld trip volunteers, you'll

know at a glance whether you're ree

to join the group on the bus that day.

Plan beore you shop

August is the second-biggest sales

month or clothing retailers. Back

to school clothing sales begin as

early as July! Are you prepared to

run the school clothes gauntlet?

An inormed shopper is a savvy shop-

per, so prepare beore you shop. Take

an aternoon and assess each child's

clothing needs. Empty drawers and

closets o outgrown or worn-out

clothing, and either store or donate

the discards.

Working with your child, clean and

organize clothing storage beore

new garments are added--and cut

down on school morning calls o

"Mom! I don't have any clean . . . . "

Develop a wardrobe needs list or

each child. Check or possible hand-

me-downs rom older siblings as you

make your list. I you discuss the

needs list and the amily budget with

your children beore you shop, you'llavoid in-the-store tantrums.

Similarly, ask the school or class-

room supply lists beore shop-

ping or school supplies. Fore-

warned is orearmed ... and

helps protect the amily budget.

Do shop early! With back-to-school

sales beginning in mid-July, tardy

shoppers have a tough time locating

needed supplies among September's

Halloween costumes and Christmas

decorations.

homebackpack, binder, lunchbox

or caeteria moneywill help make

the rst morning go smoothly. Having

healthy, yet kid-riendly lunches will

help keep them energized through-

out the day. Also, walking through

the building and visiting your childs

locker and classroom will help ease

anxiety o the unknown.Get to know

your neighbors: I your child is start-

ing a new school, walk around your

block and get to know the neigh-

borhood children. Try and set up a

play date, or, or an older child, ndout where neighborhood kids might

go to saely hang out, like the com-

munity pool, recreation center or

park.Talk to your child: Asking your

children about their ears or worries

about going back to school will help

them share their burden. Inquire as

to what they liked about their pre-

vious school or grade and see how

those positives can be incorporated

into their new experience.Empathize

with your children: Change can be

dif cult, but also exciting. Let your

children know that you are aware o

what theyre going through and that

you will be there to help them inthe process. Nerves are normal, but

highlight that not everything that is

dierent is necessarily bad. It is im-

portant to encourage your children

to ace their ears instead o alling

in to the trap o encouraging avoid-

ance.Get involved and ask or help:

Knowledge o the school and the

community will better equip you to

understand your childs surround-

ings and the transition he or she is

undergoing. Meeting members o

your community and school will os-

ter support or both you and your

child. I you eel the stress o the

school year is too much or you and

your child to handle on your own,

seeking expert advice rom a mental

health proessional, such as a psy-

chologist, will help you better man-

age and cope.

Tell Me About It?

I am a connoisseur o one linephilosophy

No matter how much perume you

put on a pig it still smells like a pig.

One nice thing about egotists:

They dont talk about other people.

Dont pee on my leg

and tell me its raining.

The more you complain,

the longer God lets you live.

I you must choose between two evils,

pick the one youve never tried beore.

Families are like udge

mostly sweet with a ew nuts.

Raising teenagers is like

nailing Jell-O to a tree.The main trouble with men-

tal notes is the ink ades so ast.

I could go on or days : ), but I digress.

This post is kind o a philosophical

rant. I want to post 3 Questions, and

answer 3 Questions and I hope

when its over, you will want to read

my next post!!!

Precursor Facebook, Twitter,

LinkedIn and more are oten called

Social Networking and Social Media

in the same breath. Let me drill that

down a bit. You cant network with

yoursel. Its a one on one relation-

ship. That means your are creating

a connection with another personthat you can inuence, who inu-

ences you, or you have a goal or the

common good o both o you. Social

Media is just that broadcasting.

You have inormation or the masses

(and I am not talking about religion

or politics).

Now creating a one on one relation-

ship can include broadcasting o

content, and your ideas, but at some

point i all you do is sell,sell sell,

you are selling yoursel short (not

creating a relationship, or broad-

casting ideas). I you dont intend

to interact with people when youpost, you are advertising. When you

create conversations that your au-

dience is willing to engage in, they

will appreciate your interactions and

continue to interact. I you are sell-

ing, you will become noise (and ulti-

mately droned out or even blocked

or de-riended).

I use Klout.com as a benchmark

(but I take it with a grain o salt).

It measures all my social inuence

(Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and

Google+), but I have to pick be-

tween Brian Basilico, B2b Interac-

tive Marketing, and Dough! (my

band), I cannot account or all three

or more. But what it does, is meas-

ures how much people I interact

with, comment and interact with my

posts (not about how much generate

content). The key thing is I measure

(through Klout, Analytics, Facebook

and LinkedIn insights) how much

my posts are being viewed, interact-

ed with, and relevant to my riends,

and clients!

My Questions

What are You Trying to Do? I you

are trying to sell something too

much, you are as obvious as a man

wearing sunglasses with a dog sell-

ing pencils. Even i you come up

with creative headlines, and statis-

tics that would make a math pro-

essor blush, i you have to sell that

hard, everyone knows that you have

snake oil. Once they get to your

website, they realize you have put

Perume on a Pig!. I what you areselling, works THAT WELL, you

would not have to sell it that much!

Are Your Messages Share Worthy?

Are you giving people good inor-

mation, or just a URL shortened

inomercial? People are much more

conscious o their own reputations

than you give them credit or. The

last thing they want to do, is share

mis-inormation and be know

as the source. Work hard at giv-

ing something that they would be

happy to share (not regret later

even i you believe you are right!).

Are you Measuring Results? When

you share your ideas, what are peo-ple doing? Are they sharing it, and

are their riends sharing it? I you

are posting things to a dead end,

STOP! IF you post good inorma-

tion that people WANT TO share

and occasionally direct people to

your website, maybe (just MAYBE)

they MAY hear your real message,

that you have something good to

oer them! Track trafc rom your

posts and ultimately to your website

to see whats working and whats not!

My Answers

Social Networking is Relationship

Marketing! You may have success

advertising, but you will have SUS-

TAINED SUCCESS, by actually

knowing WHO your are marketing

to. People who KNOW, LIKE &

TRUST you will do a better job o

connecting with your messages and

sharing it with others! Social Net-

working is an extension o Face to

Face networking. I you treat riends

like prospects, you are just another

MLM (multilevel marketing) get

rich quick dewd or dewdette trying

to capitalize rather than empathize!

Social Media is Creating (or re-

purposing) Good Content! Its

Everywhere there are websites,

blogs, and news that will help peo-

ple better use what you have to o-

er. Its not about getting them to

purchase as much as its being at the

right place at the right time. Educat-

ing people as to why you are the best

option, is worth 10 clients who buy

rom you now and choose the next

New Kid In Town. I have clients

that have been with me or 20+ years

and are STILL sharing my mes-sage and recommending my services

(on every Social Media platorm!).

Your Website an Extension Desti-

nation! Your ultimate goal is to get

a phone call or an email (or a Fa-

cebook or Skype direct message).

IF your website is an extension o

your selling campaign it will all on

dea ears. I its a destination, with

valuable inormation that creates

conversations and educates, then

you have the start o something

good! Give people a reason to visit

twice or more. Start a blog! Make

sure your pages are not just a 1000

word inomercial! Give people a rea-son to SHARE your content and it

will pay you back in relationships

(and ultimately riends & clients!).

I you think Social Networking or

Social Media is a ad I suggest

you check your Magic 8 Ball and

pet your Pet Rock at the same time.

We are no longer in control o the

message (as much as we would like

to think that we are), the bloggers,

content developers and Google con-

trol what people think, like and do.

Either we get on the ride and enjoy,

or take pictures as they wave at us as

they pass buy (pun intended)!

I would love to hear your thoughts,

concerns and comments!
