June is more than halfway over.  School is out.  Summer officially begins tomorrow.  It feels like we’ve reached a point when we can finally kick back, relax more, and enjoy the great weather with friends and family.  However, it is simply the calm before the storm.  You may have exciting activities planned such as a summer party or birthday celebration, a family vacation, or a reunion.  Then, once we are all worn out from all of the sun and fun, we have to start gearing up for back to school (I know, but really, it will be here before we know it).

Sometimes, we just need a little push to get ahead and start contemplating our upcoming needs and events.  Consider this post your reminder.  Here I’ll list several potential lists that you may want to begin working on.  Dust off your clipboard and keep it handy.  Either print out the lists from your membership at ListPlanIt, or find some paper that would be useful for compiling the information you need.   Keep the lists going and work on them as you are able.
