Whether September means times tables or a lengthy thesis, homework or home office, Taskrabbit’s got the tips for a stress-free back-to-school season.
September means equations and reading Shakespeare
Homework. A word dreaded as much by kids as by their parents. There’s no miracle recipe here but creating an inviting space for your kids to do their writing and math exercises is an important step. And maybe, just maybe, you will be able to avoid the daily fight to get them to finish their 5-page reading assignment before dinner.
- Choose with them a comfortable chair and desk and get help for assembling your furniture
- Keep the working station very neat and not too busy, but do hang a bit of their artwork, times tables, periodic tables or anything that relates to what they’re learning
- Mount a few shelves for their books and binders with the help of a Tasker
September means settling into university
Teaching them how to ride a bike feels like yesterday… but this year they are already moving out of the house. Settling into university life can be daunting if it’s far from home. It’s a lot of planning, admin, unexpected costs and travel. So to avoid having a to-do list that resembles a novel, cross a few things off like moving by hiring local experimented movers.
Once your teenager is settling in, offer them a regular cleaning through Taskrabbit. Because can you really trust them to clean the microwave and the sink when you can’t even remember the last time they cleaned their room?
September means PhDs and late-night studying
There is studying and then there is PhD studying. Nights out are a thing of the past, sleep is overrated and cooking and cleaning are just a waste of time. Because the last thing you want to do after 18 hours of reading and taking notes is clean your shower and fix your dishwasher, get a trusted cleaner and a handyman to allow yourself a tiny tiny bit of downtime once in a while.
And if you plan on reading books by the dozen this year, check out our easy tips to create a beautiful library in your home.
September back to home office routine
Summer is over. Bye-bye late-night mojitos and deck chair, hello early morning coffee and desk chair. Make the best of remote work by upgrading your home office.
Make your work station comfy and inviting with warm lighting and plants, and work on your zoom background by mounting a few well-organised shelves.
