I hope rest, relaxation, and recharging are at the top of your to-do list this summer. As wonderful as summer is, we know it will come to an end. Before you know it, it\u2019ll be August. You\u2019ll hit the ground running with very little time to reflect. It\u2019s important to take a little time now at the very end of the school year to do a brain dump. Reflecting for even just 15-20 minutes while the school year is fresh in your mind is such a good way to wrap up the year. Plus, if you write out some things that went well and some areas that could have gone better, you\u2019ll have a guide going into the next school year that will help you forge a clear path and plan. If you\u2019re tired of going into the new school year already feeling behind, you may want to spend a little time each week during the summer preparing for the year ahead. Don\u2019t worry\u2026I\u2019m talking an hour or less each week.\r\n\nIn this episode, I\u2019m sharing 6 things you can do this summer to prepare for the year ahead. These quick strategic tasks will help you be prepared and ahead of the game when August rolls around. Plus you\u2019ll still have plenty of time to enjoy your summer break and unwind. Over the next few weeks, I\u2019ll go into more depth on each of these topics, and next week I\u2019ll share more about the challenge that goes along with this, the prizes you can win, and how to make sure that you don\u2019t miss out on the fun.
