Lincoln professional organizer gives back-to-school organization advice

LINCOLN, Neb. — With back-to-school season approaching, it is important to stay organized with your schedule.

Professional organizer Emily Stockton of Lincoln knows firsthand how important it is to stay on top of things and has ways to make the transition into the school year easier.

She recommends keeping two calendars, one for school events and one for family things such as birthdays and meal plans.

This allows parents and students to find information quickly.

She also suggests separating toys in bins based on category so they are easier to access and play with — and easier to put away.

These tips make it easier for parents and students to adjust to a new schedule.
