THE MONTHLY PAGE 👩🏻💻 September 2024
Tech wallpapers, calendars, + resources to help you focus for the month ahead.
Welcome to The Monthly Page for September!
Earlier this week I landed stateside, and will be “out of office” for the next ten days as I travel through three states (MN, WI, and IL!) to visit family and friends. Hope that your August went well, that you have a terrific Labor Day weekend, and that the resources below help you get focused + organized as we move into a new season.
Here are some important dates (mostly U.S.-centric) you might want to add to your calendar while you’re here:
💃🏻 September is Hispanic Heritage Month
💪🏻 September 2: Labor Day
👵🏻 September 8: Grandparents Day
🕊 September 21: International Day of Peace
🍂 September 22: Autumnal Equinox
☕ September 29: National Coffee Day
💦 UPCOMING WORKSHOP: HYDRATING HABITS
How many times have you said "I really need to start drinking more water"?!
YOU AREN'T ALONE. 75% OF US ARE LIVING WITH CHRONIC MILD DEHYDRATION.
And it impacts everything from our skin and hair to our energy, motivation, and creativity!
Proper hydration is one of the simplest, fastest, and most affordable ways to transform how you look, feel, and perform.
BUT MOST OF US TOTALLY SUCK AT IT!
The good news is that hydration is just a series of simple daily habits. And that's where I come in....
Through Hydrating Habits I combine my passion for hydration with my skills as a systems and efficiency expert and Mayo Clinic Trained Wellness Coach to help you slowly build new, hydrating habits that last. Enrollment will open on September 6th and details will be in next week’s newsletter.
Cheers to the arrival of September,

☑ SYSTEMS REFRESH: Prep yourself for the month ahead with my quick 15-minute routine:
📅 3 MINS - Review your upcoming schedule to assess where you are spending your time. Does it align with your priorities?
✅ 3 MINS - Look at your projects and tasks and make sure everything is up to date. Anything you need to update or delete?

✍🏻 WRITING PROMPTS: Here are four weekly writing prompts to try out this month.
Write a quote that is meaningful to you. Why does it impact you?
When was the last time that a scent reminded you of a childhood memory? What was it and where did it transport you?
What’s the best outfit you’ve ever owned and why did/do you love it?
Describe the funniest thing you have ever seen happen in real life?
💬 Comment & chat! What was the best thing you Read, Watched, Listened to or Enjoyed over the past month? I’d love to hear about it in the comments and might feature it an upcoming edition of The Weekly Page.
Yay thanks! I have a September event/important day to share in case you want to add it in future: https://www.september28.org/ september 28th is the international day for safe abortion, known sometimes as International Day for Decriminalization Abortion (I think specifically in Latin America). There are often actions and educational opportunities. As we know, restricting abortions doesn't make them less common, only less safe.
