I Started Taking PTO The First Week Of School & It Saved Me ([link removed])

We’re continuing our back-to-school package today — how many days are left on your personal countdown? — and you’ll find yourself nodding along at Lauren Davidson’s description of the last-minute chaos that always ensues, no matter how organized you stay over the summer. She writes: “Inevitably, during that first week I’ll realize they need new lunch containers because they lost all of the reusable pouches I bought last year, someone has grown out of their gym shoes, and someone comes home on the second day and informs me that *everyone* in their class has headphones for computer class and they need them, too.”

And she’s sharing her solution, too. It’s a wise one, if you can pull it off!
