So… how did your first week go with the kids back at school? 😂🎒
I feel like this week has been a strange mixture of...
YES! Routine is back! 🙌
…and…
How are we already back to making packed lunches, finding PE kits and remembering 400 different things before 8:30am?! 😂
After the organised chaos of the summer holidays, I have to admit, getting some proper routine back has felt GOOD.
From a business point of view, September always feels a little bit like a second New Year to me.
The diary gets busier.
People are back from holidays.
Projects start moving again.
And suddenly those things that were “we'll look at that after the summer” are very much back on the agenda. 👀
I've definitely felt a renewed energy with Alexandra's Marketing this week too. Lots going on with my lovely clients, new ideas flying around and plenty on the to-do list.
But I'm also trying not to fall straight back into the trap of filling every available minute just because I can.
I'm learning that being busy and being productive aren't always the same thing.
So here's to September a little more routine, a little more focus and hopefully still remembering to make time for life outside the laptop too. 💚
How has your first week back been?
Relieved to have the routine back? Missing the summer? Or already counting down to half term? 😂👇
