Back to School Essentials: The Perfect Toolkit for Organization and Creativity

As summer winds down and the school year approaches, it's time to start gathering all the essentials that will set you up for success! Whether you're a student returning to the classroom or a parent preparing your child, having the right tools can make all the difference. This year, let's focus on not only staying organized but also fostering creativity. Here's your ultimate back-to-school essentials guide, featuring a break down of the Daily Grind's new Back To School Bundle!

1. Travel Planner Case: Your Mobile Command Center

A travel planner case is an underrated but invaluable item for students. It's perfect for keeping all your organizational tools in one place, making it easy to transition from home to school and everywhere in between! Look for a case with compartments for your planner, pens, and stickers. This way, you'll have everything you need at your fingertips, whether you're in a classroom or a coffee shop.

Pro Tip: Choose a case with a durable zipper and sturdy material to protect your items. The Daily Grind Travel Planner Case has both a hand held strap and a cross body strap for extra convenience! 

2. Planner: Your Key to Staying Organized

A planner is a must-have for managing your academic and personal life. From keeping track of assignments and deadlines to scheduling extracurricular activities, a well-organized planner can be your best friend. Look for one that suits your style—whether you prefer a minimalist design or something more colorful and creative.

Features to Consider:

• Weekly and Monthly Views: This allows you to plan both short-term and long-term. The Daily Grind Monthly Calendar Insert gives you both!
• Goal-Setting Sections: A space to jot down your academic and personal goals can keep you motivated. The Daily Grind Goal Planning System will help you crush these goals! 

3. Lined Notebook Paper: The Classic Staple

Never underestimate the power of good old-fashioned lined notebook paper. It's perfect for taking detailed notes during lectures, writing essays, or doing homework. While digital note-taking is convenient, there's something satisfying about penning your thoughts on paper. Keep a stack of lined paper in your travel planner case or planner cover so you can easily grab a sheet whenever you need it. The Daily Grind Lined Page Insert will fit seamlessly into your Daily Grind Planner!

4. Pens: The Tools of the Trade

Pens are a student's best friend. A good set of pens can make note-taking more enjoyable and efficient. Keep a variety in your travel planner case, including black, blue, and colored pens for different purposes. The Daily Grind Soft Tip Multicolor Pen Set can be particularly useful for organizing notes, underlining important information, or simply adding a splash of color to your work.

5. Dot Grid Paper: Unleash Your Creativity

Dot grid paper is a fantastic addition to your school supplies, offering a space for brainstorming and creative projects. Unlike traditional lined or graph paper, dot grid paper provides a subtle guide without getting in the way. This makes it perfect for mind maps, bullet journaling, doodles, and sketching. The Daily Grind Dot Grid Insert clips directly into your planner to keep you organized and ready to go!

Uses for Dot Grid Paper:

• Brainstorming Sessions: Easily organize your thoughts and ideas.
• Creative Projects: Sketch out designs, layouts, or art projects.
• Bullet Journals: Create customizable planners with to-do lists, habit trackers, and more.

As you prepare for the upcoming school year, make sure to equip yourself with these essential tools. The new Daily Grind Back to School Bundle has everything you need to go into this new school year feeling confident and organized! With these items in your arsenal, you'll be ready to tackle any challenge and make the most of your school year. Happy studying and creating!
