It's back-to-school time again!

Here are some tips to make the first days back run smoothly:

• Start waking up early. We know, it's the last weekend of the summer — who wants to set the alarm clock? Establishing a wake-up time will alleviate the morning rush, and prevent the afternoon lag in energy.
• Start picking out clothes the night before — the less decisions you have to make in the morning, the better.
• Get some shut-eye. Establish a decent bedtime now — after all the alarm will be going off earlier than you've been used to.
• Eat a decent breakfast. (This isn't just for back-to-school, but for everyday.)

But don't take our word for it. Read this article from Yahoo health which says that sleep and reading are very important for back-to-school preparations.

Or this one from Kaboose.ca titled 'Back to School: Tips to Prepare Kids for the Big Day'.

What are your tips for back-to-school? We'd love to hear them! Post them in the comments.

Have a great labor day!
