Quite often I get lost in thoughts about how I could spend quality time with my family and friends and buy extra time for myself...I know I can't get that in the market..lol. But yes I've learnt it in the hard way. There is nothing like getting organized and sticking to schedules. Try these awesome time saving tips which has made a difference in my life... not sure if all will work for you, but some may.
Get Organized. It's amazing how many people spin their
wheels each day looking for lost keys, phone numbers, the red shirt or
a specific pair of shoes. Spend a weekend getting yourself organized.
Write Things Down. Always, keep a small notepad on
hand. When you think of something you need to do, jot down a reminder.
This will save you endless minutes recalling just what you were
supposed to do.
Get An Engagement Calendar. Get a calendar to write
down all your engagements, addresses and phone numbers. By keeping all
the information in one place, you won't have to dig for it later.
Designate Days. Choose a day or night to do your
grocery shopping and errand running each week. Choose a day to clean
your home. Stick to your schedule and forget about these
responsibilities the rest of the week.
Do Things In Bulk. When possible, buy groceries and
drugstore items in bulk to save a trip to the store. When you prepare
one casserole, make one or two extras and freeze them.
Teach Your Child. Teach
your child how to prepare a drink mix, do laundry, empty the dishwasher
and clean his room. An extra set of hands goes a long way.
Review Your Priorities. While certain joy can be
found in relaxing over a television show, don't overload. If you are
watching three or four hours of television a day, that is time probably
better spent doing something else.
Make A File System. Buy a cardboard file box and
folders. Make folders for bills, insurance, letters, bank statements
and anything else you may need at hand.
Have A Reading Pile. Keep everything you want to read, including mail and magazines, by your bed and read 10 minutes a night to unwind.
