Featured on Friday: Challenge Yourself with This Week’s #MustReads!

Where has the summer gone?! I’m thankful to not be governed by the school calendar this year, but August still feels like a “transition month” to me. It’s summer’s last hurrah; everyone’s trying to squeeze in one more vacation, and school is gearing up for students, parents, and teachers. Even those like me, who don’t have a family member in school, are influenced by the rhythms of the educational calendar.

Personally, I always try to re-evaluate my routines towards the end of the summer, whether they’re related to wellness habits or finances or time management. It feels like a good time to pause, reflect on what we’ve accomplished so far this year, and recalibrate before jumping into the last four months of the year. It’s not January, of course, but that doesn’t mean we can’t set new resolutions or goals: we still have time to reset our focus and challenge ourselves before the end of the year.

How about you? Here’s a few must-read links from recent weeks that might help you reassess your goals — and maybe even set some new ones!
