I love me some office supplies…

Once the backpacks are packed and the buses start rolling, something magical happens… my brain goes straight into “new year” mode — except it’s August, not January. Back-to-school isn’t just for kids. It’s the perfect excuse for entrepreneurs to reset, refresh, and get new office supplies!

Here are a few of my favorite things to start the “year” off right:

1. A Fresh Planner or Digital Calendar Upgrade

There’s just something about opening a brand-new planner that makes me want to color-code my life. I’m loving [Planner Name or Digital Tool] because it keeps me organized without turning me into a full-on scheduling robot.

2. Pretty Office Supplies That Make Me Want to Work

Yes, I will absolutely work harder if my paper clips are rose gold and my pens are gel perfection. Right now I’m obsessed with [favorite pens, notebook, sticky notes]. Check out a collection of my curated faves.

3. A “Workday” Uniform

Back-to-school means I ditch the “work-from-home in yesterday’s sweatshirt” look and pull out my comfy-but-cute staples. Think [favorite leggings, cardigans, or Vuori joggers] that feel put-together without sacrificing comfort.

A Morning Ritual Refresh

The kids aren’t the only ones who benefit from a consistent start time. My current ritual: coffee after breakfast (blood sugar friendly!), a quick brain dump in my notebook, and 10 minutes of focused planning. Game changer.

My Go-To Business Tools

Fall is when I love to audit my tech stack. Right now, my ride-or-die tools are:

• Honeybook for project and client management (30% off here)
• Flodesk for email marketing HANDS DOWN (50% off here)
• Tailwind for scheduling social media (50 free AI credits here)

A Fall Scent for My Workspace

Because nothing says “let’s crush this to-do list” like a candle that smells like…salt.

I love my Joanna Gaines SALT scented candle (it doesn’t really smell like salt to me but I love it anyway!)

Back-to-school isn’t just about sharpened pencils and lunchboxes — it’s about re-focusing on the things that make your workday feel smooth, inspiring, and maybe even a little luxurious. Here’s to your most productive fall yet.
