With the seasons changing, it means that it is time to go back to school again and continue your education. Regardless of whether your classes (or those of your children) resume late August or early September, there is a lot to do to get prepared in your Dallas apartments. It does not matter if you will be attending school at its physical location or if you will be learning remotely- the same rules still apply if you want to be as productive as possible. 

Be sure to try and adhere to these three tips in order to make your environment work in your favor in terms of efficiency:

1.       Be sure to allocate some space in your apartments that are specifically for studying. It can be tempting to just do your schoolwork or homework on the couch or in bed, but science shows us that our brains correlate those spots with relaxation, so we’ll find it more difficult to concentrate. Therefore, it is a lot more prudent to just have one clean, well-lit spot in your Dallas apartments that are set aside for studying and ONLY studying.

2.       Be sure to invest in yourself and your studies and really put your best foot forward when it comes to buying in school supplies. If you aren’t really up for going out to Target or other school supply stores and fighting over remaining supplies, you can always stay home and do your school shopping from your laptop by going on Amazon.com. Be sure to do these days, if not weeks before your classes pick up again so you get your materials on time.

3.       If you were keen on the idea proposed on the idea in the first tip, then ask staff on your Dallas apartment properties if there are any amenities you can use to study, such as a computer lab or a study lounge to do your work. This is helpful for those who find it too difficult or noisy to study in their very own apartments.

We hope that these tips were sufficient in leading you to the right path as it comes to gearing up for your educational future. If you have any additional tips, feel free to leave a comment below.

Spruce up that Home Office

Missing the structure of your office cubicle? A curated home office space can help you feel more organized! Try and set up your desk away from your bedroom to avoid disrupting your sleep schedule. Another way to make sure your new office is primed for productivity is by having your workstation by a sun-facing window! Need more suggestions? This list should help you out!

Work From Home with a Set Schedule

It’s important not to lose track of your daily routine when you’re working remotely. Keeping a set schedule while working from home will keep you on top of your regular tasks and can help you feel more balanced. Waking up at the same time every day and getting dressed for work whether or not you leave the house are some examples of how to stay motivated!

Take Regular Breaks from your Remote Work

With more free time in the day, you may feel the temptation to fill your schedule. Try not to overdo it! Taking breaks when needed will make your remote work much more enjoyable in the long run. To refuel your body and refresh from the grind, always take a lunch hour. Pausing for some strengthening yoga poses can provide a boost of energy. And to prevent eye strain from your computer screen, make sure you’re sticking to the 20-20-20 rule!

Go Trick-or-Treating

If you have young children, trick-or-treating is most likely a tradition that you have already established. So, throw together some cute costumes for the kiddos, grab a pillowcase, and head out for an adventure. With such a cute and fun neighborhood, there are sure to be plenty of people handing out candy. 

Have a Costume Party

You have a beautiful apartment here at Churchill on the Park, so flaunt it! Invite some friends over for a night of social interactions. Encourage everyone to wear costumes and consider doing a best costume contest with a small prize. Consider giving your neighbors a heads up or even an invite.

Go to a Haunted House

Halloween season is all about the spooky! So make the most of it by visiting a haunted house. Whether or not you enjoy being scared, you are sure to make memories, especially if you bring some friends along with you. Halloween night also tends to be a quieter night to go to large scale haunts such as ones at theme parks. 

Have a Movie Marathon

Nothing will put you in the Halloween spirit quite like a scary movie. Choose some classic horror movies to indulge in on the 31st, grab some snacks, and some good friends and let the fun begin. Sometimes an evening in with great company is even better than going out, plus you can hand out candy to the kids that stop by and help make their evening even more special.

Here are some easy ways in which you can start going green in Dallas. 

Bike to work!

Over 10% of our Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas emissions come from road traffic. If your commute is not significantly long, consider investing in a bicycle! You can start by biking a few days of the week. You can also combine public transportation and biking if you live a little further away from work. By using your car less, you will be significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving money on gas!

Invest in a reusable water bottle.

One of the quickest ways of using less plastic is by avoiding the purchase of bottled water. Plastic bottles release chemicals that are bad for your health, plus not all of them get adequately recycled and only add to the waste that keeps getting collected in our oceans and lands. Use a water filter at home and refill your bottle every day. You will stay hydrated, and feel better by knowing you are not creating more waste. Here are some tips on how to choose a reusable water bottle.

Buy from your farmers’ market!

By buying from your local farmers’ market, not only you are supporting local business owners, but you are also helping to reduce your carbon footprint by purchasing vegetables and fruits that are in season and that have not traveled far to get to your city. Most of the food products in farmers’ markets are organic, and it is always fresher than the ones in grocery stores. Going to a farmers’ market is fun! Some of them have arts and crafts by local artists and live music. The Dal-Rich Towne Square Farmers’ Market happens on Saturdays and it’s only ten minutes away from Churchill on the Park! They have many vendors that sell tasty food. Don’t forget to bring your reusable bags!

Mind your energy usage.

Turn the AC off as you leave home. There’s no use in keeping it on if no one is there! About 11% of our greenhouse gas emissions come from the CO2 generated by buildings’ AC units. It is best to avoid it altogether. To keep your house fresh, you can leave the windows open, or shut down the blinds. If you have electric fans, consider using these instead when you are home. You will lower your energy bills and cut down on pollution!

Which of these tips do you already apply? At Churchill on the Park, we care about the environment and our community. What are some ways in which you participate in the eco-friendly movement? Share your tips with us in the comments!
