You know that feeling like….there are only a few more days left in my vacation and I’m not ready to go back to work? Well after my incredible summer so far, I’ve been struggling to find the inspiration to start a new school year. Have no fear! I recently presented at the OTF #pb4t conference and I’m feeling invigorated! Here’s my Storify with the links and highlights that you’ll want to steal for your own boost of energy.
