Back-to-school season can feel like a chaotic whirlwind, even when you're trying your best to be prepared. In this episode of The Bright Method Podcast, Kelly Nolan walks you through a practical, realistic approach to reducing stress and overwhelm during the school transition period—without trying to do it all at once.

Whether you're a mom of one or juggling multiple kids with different schedules, this episode will help you:

  • Create a comprehensive back-to-school to-do list without getting overwhelmed

  • Strategically time-block and calendar out tasks so you can actually enjoy the rest of summer

  • Build buffer space into your calendar to handle last-minute changes and wonky first weeks

  • Reduce mental clutter by storing reminders in your calendar (instead of your brain)

  • Get ahead of things like school paperwork, medical forms, haircuts, clothing, and supply shopping

  • Plan for emotional support your kids may need during transitions

  • Use practical recurring reminders to stay on top of things like school hot lunch accounts and grade checks

  • Leverage your calendar to proactively avoid scrambles throughout the school year

Plus, Kelly shares a helpful free resource—a downloadable PDF checklist with all the action items and more. Grab it via the link in the show notes to make implementation even easier.

Whether you’re new to school logistics or looking to streamline a system that feels clunky, this episode gives you the step-by-step game plan to help you breathe easier during this busy season.
