Between final projects, activities, and summer plans, you feel overwhelmed by the transition. Taking a little time now to wrap up the school year can help your family start summer feeling calmer, more organized, and ready to enjoy the break.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"347\">\n<h3 data-start=\"349\" data-end=\"666\">Start by creating a simple school year closing routine.<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"349\" data-end=\"666\">Life&#8217;s pace moves us quickly from the end of school to the start of summer.\u00a0 Create a pause that you intentionally create order by closing out the school and volunteer year. Go through backpacks, lunchboxes, lockers, and study spaces to remove old papers, broken supplies, and forgotten items. Be ruthless about trashing what is broken and well -used.\u00a0Save important work and recycle what you no longer need. That requires you to gather all the papers, assess the progress made, and select the highest-quality ones to retain. This small reset creates a clean slate for summer and makes next fall much easier. Your future self will thank you!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"349\" data-end=\"666\">\n<h3 data-start=\"349\" data-end=\"666\">Host a family meeting focused on summer routines.<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"668\" data-end=\"1014\">Set expectations for the summer with a family meeting.\u00a0 Summertime needs <a href=\"https:\/\/professional-organizer.com\/WordPress\/11-summer-routines\/\">predictable routines<\/a> to help everyone feel grounded. Conversations about wake-up times, chores, screen limits, reading goals, and family activities get everyone to buy in. This loose structure reduces stress and decision fatigue, especially for kids and teens with ADHD. Reinforce these routines throughout the summer with positive conversations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"668\" data-end=\"1014\">\n<h3 data-start=\"668\" data-end=\"1014\">Reinforce rest and reset throughout the summer.<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1462\">The pace of life does not slow down without intention. <a href=\"https:\/\/professional-organizer.com\/WordPress\/creating-quiet-time-for-yourself-this-summer\/\">Create space for rest<\/a>. Alternate times for camp and vacation with time to rest and reset.\u00a0 Rest includes time outside to enjoy the sunshine. Take a break from over-scheduling and say no to a few commitments. Have less on your calendar, and you will enjoy the freedom that brings. Set aside time for reading and playing games. You will find that this time investment makes a difference at the end of summer when you reflect on your family time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1462\">\n<p data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1462\">When you are intentional about your summer transition, it sets the tone for your time together. Conversations and connection happen when you allow time for meaningful rest, reset and organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the school year winds down, it\u2019s easy for schedules, papers, and routines to become chaotic. &#8220;Maycember&#8221; takes over, and you have more on your calendar and less time to be organized.
