Back to school & work: how to survive the transition from holiday to 'normal'

It’s a slightly painful moment every year: suitcases are dragged back to the attic and the washing machine is working overtime. Memories of the summer sun are fading, and the alarm is mercilessly set for 7:00 AM. The transition from total relaxation to the back-to-school-and-work grind is a real culture shock for many families.
Within a week, your calendar is packed again with work meetings, sports clubs, parent-teacher evenings, and lunchboxes that need filling. How do you bring structure back into your life without losing all that carefully built-up holiday energy within three days? The answer lies in something we all did en masse this summer: daring to accept help.
During the summer months, we showed just how community-minded we are. Our recent neighborhood survey revealed that the willingness to help one another is overwhelmingly high: 74.1% kept an eye on each other's homes and 58.0% lent a hand by watering plants or collecting mail. We let go of control and trusted in the support of others.
But why should that wonderful culture of looking after one another stop just because the holiday is over? Now that the daily rush hour is starting again, we need those helping hands more than ever.
You don't have to restore order to your household alone. Just as you relied on the attentive neighbor during the summer, you can rely on Superhelpers from your own neighborhood all year round. They are ready to take the pressure off during the notorious back-to-school rush:
The most important lesson of the summer is that we don't have to do it all alone. By outsourcing tasks that drain your energy, you save time for what really matters: relaxing with the family and reminiscing about the holiday.
