Many schools resume session this month and into the next. Whether you’re a college student preparing for the fall semester or the parent of a child continuing their grade school journey, being prepared sets you up for success. Here’s how you can make the most of your time and energy for a stress-free back to school season!

How to Study at Home

Returning to school means returning to homework, the bane of students’ existence. However, rethinking the way to study can make completing assignments less of a chore. During class lectures, take down notes on paper! By creating a spatial relationship with the course content by writing down key points, you’re more likely to retain information. That way, once you pull out that homework, the answers might come to you more easily.

Modernize Your School Supplies

When it comes to school supplies, every student needs the basics. Pencils, pens, and notebooks are a given, but there are other useful tools that can come in handy this semester. Both for clear audio during online courses and for listening to music while you study, it pays off to invest in high-quality earphones. Check out this list of wireless headphones and earbuds for a hands-free learning experience when returning to school!
