For one thing, autumn begins during this transitional month. With the coming of the fall equinox, the hours of daylight dwindle, and the days become cooler and shorter. But there’s still plenty of sunshine, and the warmth lingers on, thankfully not as intense as the heat of mid-summer. And apples are in season along with countless apple-scented and apple-flavored foods, drinks, and household items. Can you smell the luscious fragrance of an apple-scented candle right now? Let’s not overlook the cooler evenings perfect for walks in nature or times spent by the fire with friends or loved ones. Best of all, fewer mosquitoes and other insects are around to “bug” us during outdoor events. To celebrate this special month, you can periodically post the following September quotes and sayings on your dry erase wall throughout the month and keep them in...

Working Whiteboard Wall: The Foundation of a Well-equipped Home Office Working walls, also known as research walls, inspiration boards, research boards, design walls, and ideation walls, are large vertical surfaces used for displaying information, projects, actions, decisions, and ideas so as to enhance the thinking processes of individuals or teams in business, design, science, and other fields.

Whiteboard Paint Reduces the Need for Electronic Devices Of the many environmental benefits of applying ReMarkable dry erase paint, one of the greatest is that it reduces the use of electronic products such as tablets and laptops, which generate an enormous quantity of waste that has devastating effects on Earth’s environment. As the amount of e-waste dramatically increases year by year, solutions for its proper recycling have lagged far behind. Although it is essential to give e-waste items to a certified recycling company that meets strict requirements for handling these materials, many individuals and businesses fail to do so. Their old electronics end up in landfills, producing toxic results for our air, water, and soil. The main hazardous substances to be found in discarded electronic products are lead, mercury, cadmium, zinc, yttrium, chromium, beryllium, nickel, brominated flame retardants, antimony trioxide, halogenated flame retardants, tin, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and phtha...

Balancing Job Duties and Daily Life in the Work-from-Home Environment Working from home can be a daunting experience, even for long-time telecommuters, and it often requires a period of adjustment to develop a productive daily routine. In the work-from-home setting, distractions invariably come up throughout the day, so balancing job duties, health, family, and personal interests can seem impossible, and the boundary line between work and personal life can easily become blurred. In the current global environment, most people lack the time to make an easy transition to working from home and planning an organized home work schedule, with pressure from household duties being high and timelines to finish remote projects short. Many who work remotely also have to care for children or parents, creating a situation in which people are doing two jobs at once. This can lead to burnout if telecommuters don’t take the time to focus on their own needs and plan their lives efficiently. With the wor...

Because whiteboard walls are by nature large, multi-purpose, easy to use, and completely open-ended, they have immense potential for stimulating children’s innate creativity and engagement in homeschool learning. For this reason, they quickly become popular teaching resources for homeschooling parents, who encourage youngsters to use the walls to release their imaginations in independent or collaborative school work and recreational activities.
