As summer fades and the school year begins, it’s the perfect time to reset and reorganize your home for a smooth back-to-school transition. Dwayne is a firm believer that a well-organized space can make all the difference in creating a calm and productive environment for both kids and parents. Here are Dwayne’s top organizational hacks to help your family ease into the new school year with style and efficiency.
Designate a central spot in your home where everyone can stay informed and organized. Use a large calendar to track important dates, a bulletin board for notices, and labeled baskets for each family member’s mail and paperwork. This hub will ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Mornings can be hectic, but a little preparation can go a long way. Lay out outfits the night before, and organize a breakfast station with easy-to-grab, nutritious options. A shoe rack and coat hooks by the door can also help streamline your family’s exit in the mornings.
Plan and prep meals ahead of time to reduce weekday stress. Create a weekly menu, shop accordingly, and prepare ingredients or full meals on the weekend. Use clear containers to store prepped items for easy access.
