Shed Some Light on the New School Year

As your children are getting settled into their new classes and workloads, it’s important to create an environment outside of the classroom where they can work in the evenings and weekends. See the tips below about how to create a workspace ideal for productivity.

USB Outlets

Homework looks different for our children’s generation than it did for ours. Most of their work requires a computer, laptop, or tablet. With that, comes the need to charge multiple devices at once. Instead of crowding a power strip, have you considered upgrading a few of your current outlets by adding USB charging ports to the outlet? The USB ports allow you to charge devices while leaving the receptacles open.

Exterior Lighting

Autumn and winter may be crisp and refreshing, but daylight dwindles early. When the kids come home from sporting events, rehearsals, and after-school activities it’s usually dark. Make sure you not only leave a light on but that it’s a bright one! A well-lit porch and yard make for a warm homecoming at the end of the day, not to mention it lessens the risk of tripping or fumbling for keys.
