4. Plan your last summer days like a school schedule.
This is one the best back to school tips out there. Make schedules for the week and plan activities in morning and afternoon chunks with a lunch break in between. Mornings can be spent doing chores, such as making the bed, walking the dog, or unloading the dishwasher. Get everyone together for lunch, and then finish the day with an afternoon at the pool (it’s still summer after all), or go back to school shopping.
