Does your dream of a relaxing summer always turn into chaos by July? You’re not alone! Summer doesn't magically mean easier. Without a little structure, it can feel more exhausting than the school year.

In this episode of Operation May Reset, we’re diving into 3 simple systems that will protect your peace, reduce daily chaos, and help you actually enjoy your summer—without over-planning or rigid schedules. If you're ready for less scrambling and more fun, this one’s for you.

3 Key Takeaways:

  • Create a Weekly Family Rhythm
    • A few simple, predictable activities each week (like Library Mondays or Pizza Fridays) can reduce decision fatigue and give your family flow without strict schedules.
  • Set Up a Summer Essential Station
    • One grab-and-go spot for sunscreen, hats, towels, and all your summer MVPs so you’re not running around gathering things last minute.
  • Make a Meal + Snack Plan Lite
    • A basic dinner and snack rotation to eliminate the constant “What’s for lunch?” questions and free up your brainpower for more fun.
