We know, we know: we’re still enjoying our time basking in all the sunshine and glory summer has to offer. As phenomenal as that is, some of us have an alluding thought in the back of our mind: it’s almost time to get studious.

The start of fall semester often may feel like more of a bad alarm rather than a grand welcome. Classes can be challenging, but don’t let your pursuit of earning a degree (or doctorate!) leave you feeling depleted and defeated. With intentional preparation, your studies don’t have to stress you all the way out.

Here are four must-have tools that will ensure you’re organized for whatever your studies may throw at you: 

The Dailies - Alter Planning Co.

A good planner is good for your soul! No matter how tech-savvy you become, nothing quite beats the satisfaction of utilizing the classic pen and paper duo. The Dailies, curated by Alter Planning Co., are paper planners that are designed to help you prioritize short-term focuses. 

Different from the traditional full-calendar year, The Dailies (undated) are available in 30-day and 60-day planners. The Dailies come equipped with several components such as budget-planning, habit-tracking, specialized to-do lists, and plenty of blank space to take necessary notes. This planner is perfect to use for building out the best routines to keep you on track for the school year.

Blue Light Glasses - Warby Parker

With school back in the flow, your screen time is going to increase a considerably large amount. In an effort to prevent the bright lights from straining your eyesight, pick up a pair of Warby Parker’s Blue Light Glasses to wear while you’re knocking off items on your to-do list. 

Not only do blue light glasses help prevent and reduce eye strain, but they can also promote better sleep. Late-night study sessions and all-nighters are no joke, but thanks to blue light blockers, exposure won’t negatively affect your ability to rest afterwards.
