1. Back to School Mindset? I woke up this morning, the day after Labor Day in the U.S., and had this strange feeling. It brought me back to my childhood when Sept 5th or 6th was the First Day of School.
I was one of those geeky kids who really wanted the summer vacation to finish by the end of August. I had bought a new batch of school supplies, even put sticky retainers on my 3 hole paper. And, I would jump up on this day and head off to the adventure of learning. I would even dance around a street light pole singing, "School Days, School Days."
I don't know if any of you feel this, but my year really does begin again today. I woke up with a list of projects to launch, people to email and books to read. I even purchased a new set of office supplies this morning, including a fresh notebook.
Many Learning Departments also focus on September as the start of their "mental" year. RFPs are sent out, new courses are planned and everyone seems to refocus on this day.
Of course, one of my favorite activities was the prolonged Show and Tell of "What I Did on My Summer Vacation". We would bring artifacts from home, camp or visits to relatives and write or tell stories of our adventures.
(Note: My horse Dorothy's Destiny WON this summer at Saratoga!)
If you are on the Back to School mindset cycle, I would love to hear from you. Send me a note to emasie@masie.com
