A plan is your shield and sword 🛡️⚔️
Without a plan, you are a hero without a script. That is, you run around the apartment looking for a second shoe, a sandwich and your math homework, written on a piece of napkin. With a plan, you have a chance to at least not be late for the bus.
What does a “brilliant plan” include?
Alarm clocks ⏰
One is for the children. The second is for you. The third is in case all the previous ones were ignored.
Food supplies 🍎🥪
A snack in your school bag is like a bulletproof vest: it will always save you. Especially if classes are suddenly extended.
Club schedule 🎶⚽🎨
Without it, it’s easy to get confused: is the youngest going to dance or chess today? And the eldest to the pool or visiting a friend?
Time for yourself ☕
Yes, it should also be in the plan. Otherwise, in a week, mom or dad will become the main victim of chaos.
How not to become a victim of chaos?
Just admit it: the first few days will be chaotic. A plan won’t get rid of everything, but at least it will give you the illusion of control. And sometimes it’s common sense that saves you.
Do I have a plan? Yes! Does it work? Sometimes. But without it, the beginning of the school year is like the show “Survive at any cost.” And with a plan, at least there’s a chance to remain a hero, and not a victim of chaos.
