Get Organized for Back-To-School

Scoolio-Von-Hoolio. It sounds hip, and is extremely fun to say.

What is it? Scoolio-Von-Hoolio is a new line of school supplies from Office Max, designed with kid appeal.

I love the cupcake designs, but the owl is my true fave.

Today on twitter at 1pm CST, look for the hash tag #omx_blogcast for a chance to probe the organizational genius of my hero, Peter Walsh, about how your fam can stay organized during the back-to-school transition.

Live tweets from the web cast:

I went all “Clean Sweep” on my kids and got rid of 1/2 their toyshttp://bit.ly/CG5R2 #OMX_Blogcast

Being organized at home helps your child in the classroom too! #OMX_Blogcast

Create organization at home to reduce stress and give kids confidence! #OMX_Blogcast

I love those expanding files #OMX_Blogcast (for organizing the plethora of school papers)

1) flat clear surfaces for work 2) have vision for space 3)make organization a family value 4) use right tools for the job #OMX_Blogcast (no clutter on the desk, have clean surfaces for your child to do work at home)

Organization helps relieve stress in a child. I have been told this to help my ADHD child. #OMX_Blogcast

students: ask the teacher what papers you need to keep, what you can file, and what you can purge. #OMX_Blogcast

Teach your child how to best utilize the different backpack compartments #OMX_Blogcast

Make sure you and your child FINISH what you START. If you open something, close it, etc. #OMX_Blogcast

organization is a tool for helping kids succeed #OMX_Blogcast

Create, maintain, and value ORDER in your HOME. Children value what YOU value. #OMX_Blogcast

If kids are involved in setting up the organization system, they will be more committed to make it work #OMX_Blogcast

Use words, pictures, symbols, and color to create an effective organizing system #OMX_Blogcast

@OfficeMax is also offering teachers a 15% discount on Aug 9! They care about our teachers!! http://twurl.nl/vi7uj4 #OMX_Blogcast

AND Peter Walsh (!!!) also answered the question I submitted, in which I asked if there were any school supplies that he thought people tend to overbuy or underbuy, hence creating organizational challenges.

HE said PENCILS AND PENS! People get way to many and it creates crazy backpack and desk clutter.

Peter suggested taking stock in the supplies you already have before you go school shopping.

I completely agree; two weeks ago I donated about 60 pens from promotional events to a school supply drive. There IS such a problem as “too much of a good thing”!
