How to do everything if you have a schoolchild: 7 tips

1. Keep a to-do list

It is useful for both parents and children. You can compile such a list for a month, a week or a day - in this case, it is better to schedule it in the evening so that in the morning you have a ready schedule in front of your eyes.

Include in the list not only large-scale tasks, but also a routine - going to the store or helping a child with homework. Such cases seem small, but in the aggregate they can take a lot of time.

Do not set tasks back to back - let there be a margin of time between them. For example, when a trip home from school is delayed due to traffic jams, there is a risk that the rest of the schedule will go wrong. But if there are free gaps between cases, it will be easier to adjust plans.

The list may change due to unforeseen circumstances. For insurance, mark in advance the tasks that you definitely need to complete. The rest can be donated.

2. Automate your routine

For household chores can leave up to 6 hours a day, but household helpers like a slow cooker and dishwasher will free up time for other tasks. It will be possible to automate not only cleaning: arrange a regular delivery of products from an online store or set up reminders that it is time to pay utilities and communications through a mobile bank.

Cleanliness will be taken care of by modern robotic vacuum cleaners. For example, DreameBot L10s Ultra not only collect dust, but also make wet cleaning. Thanks to a smart navigation system, the gadget is able to scan space, determine the type of surface and build the best route without blind spots. A 2.5 liter water container is enough to clean an area of ​​up to 200 m².

DreameBot L10s Ultra is able to automatically dispense detergent and water, ensuring the optimal concentration of the solution. You don’t have to remove the nozzles from the mops and rinse them manually either – the docking station with a built-in sink is responsible for cleaning. And it is enough to shake out the dust bags once every 60 days.

3. Delegate some of the responsibilities

Leave the key things to yourself, and try to share smaller tasks with others. For example, when there are several children in a family, and grandparents are not ready to take care of their grandchildren, you can find a nanny for a couple of hours a week. She will look after the younger children while the parents take the older one to extra classes.

If the child is still too young to travel independently from home to school or section and back, talk to the parents of classmates. Perhaps one of them lives next door to you - in this case, there is a chance to cooperate and accompany the children to study and additional classes in turn.

4. Encourage your child to take responsibility

It's not just about doing homework. The student can help parents in everyday life. Tasks should be feasible for the age: for example, fixing an outlet or a leaky faucet should still be left to adults.

In order not to waste time on general cleaning, you can divide it into parts. For example, on Monday, deal with the bathroom and toilet, on Tuesday - with the kitchen, on Wednesday, start the laundry, on Thursday to iron the dry laundry, and on Friday to wipe the dust, freshen the floors and meet the weekend in a tidy apartment.
