October is here, and so are shorter days! If you’re feeling low on energy or down more than usual, you might be experiencing symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Here are some ways to combat it: • Get outside and soak up natural light • Stay active and move your body • Connect with loved ones • Consider light therapy or talking to a healthcare professional Take care of your mental health this season. www.ps-c.com #PSC #SupplierCompliance #purchasing #sad

Did you know that a fire can double in size every 30 seconds? This week is National Fire Prevention Week.

As autumn begins, it’s important to focus on safety as the seasons change. A new season brings new risks.   If you use a fireplace or space heaters, get them inspected before they’re truly needed. Ensure your chimney is clean to avoid fire hazards, and replace the batteries in your smoke alarms as indoor heating becomes common.   Clear your gutters of leaves and debris to prevent water buildup and potential home damage when fall rains start. www.ps-c.com #PSC #SupplierCompliance #Purchasing #FallCleaning

Your safety is worth more than any distraction. Whether you’re on the road, at work, or handling daily tasks, stay focused and keep distractions at bay. Let's protect ourselves and others by making safety our top priority. Stay committed to these 10 simple practices, and you'll find it easier to stay focused and productive. 1. Set Clear Goals: Know what you need to accomplish and break tasks into manageable steps. 2. Create a Dedicated Space: Set up a clutter-free area just for work or important tasks. 3. Turn Off Notifications: Silence your phone and computer alerts to minimize interruptions. 4. Use Time Blocks: Work in focused intervals (like the Pomodoro Technique) and take short breaks in between. 5. Limit Multitasking: Focus on one task at a time to avoid spreading your attention too thin. 6. Avoid Social Media: Log out or use apps that block access during work hours. 7. Practice Mindfulness: Stay present by practicing mindfulness or deep breathing exercises. 8. Set Boundaries: Let others know when you need uninterrupted time to concentrate. 9. Prioritize Tasks: Focus on the most important tasks first, when your energy and attention are highest. 10. Review & Adjust: Regularly assess your environment and habits to see what’s working and what needs to change. Distractions can wait—safety can't. www.ps-c.com #PSC #SupplierCompliance #purchasing #distraction #safetyfirst

As kids head back to school, let's keep safety top of mind! Here are a few quick reminders:   ·        Traffic Awareness: Be mindful of children walking or biking to school, slow down in school zones, and remember that school buses make frequent stops. ·        Safe Backpacks: Ensure children have appropriately sized backpacks and aren’t carrying too much weight—it should weigh less than 10-15% of their body weight. ·        Personal Safety for Kids: Teach kids about safe routes to school, stranger danger, and the importance of paying attention to their surroundings. ·        Prepare for Shorter Days: As the days get shorter, ensure you have proper lighting on outdoor walkways and consider reflective gear or lights if walking or biking after dark.   Let's work together to keep our kids safe and make this school year the best yet! www.ps-c.com #PSC #SupplierCompliance #Purchasing #Back2School #Safety
