I admit, September is my least favourite time of year. I love the fall, don’t get me wrong. But, the big anticipatory anxiety, the discombobulation of routines, the ramping up of everything, well, it’s a lot. 

With age on my side, I know it’ll all become the new normal in a matter of a few short days and weeks. 

I also know, with years of doing this back-to-school September thing, two strategies that can make a difference.
