Set your alarm 15 minutes earlier to give you a more relaxed start to your day.
Buy two instead of one.
Clean out the clutter; it's distracting and it slows you down. Then reward yourself for getting it done--a short walk, a long distance call to an old friend, a visit to a museum, ordering something out of a catalog.
Start using the slow cooker again.
Be prepared for those little snatches of time that pop up like late appointments, traffic delays--carry a book, stationery, paper for making lists.
Stock up on cards on your next trip to a stationery store for birthdays, thak you's, congratulations, etc.
Plant perennials.
Write down questions you have for your doctor and your children's doctor before the appointment.
Learn to say "no" when you need to.
Keep gift paper, ribbon, tape, scissors, gift tags, tape and mailing supplies in one place.
Carpooling saves time by increasing productivity--you don't waste time when you have to leave at the same time each day.
Remember, "A place for everything and everything in its place."
Have seperate hampers for whites, colors and darks to eliminate sorting laundry.
Make a chart of your child's chores with space to check them off.
You'll avoid procrastination if you do unpleasant tasks in the morning.
If you can't find the answer right away in the computer software manual, use the 1-800 number to ask the experts.
Give teenage children the responsibility of cooking dinner one night a week.
Buy clothes that your children like and you won't waste time battling about what to wear.
Stock up on birthday party presents when you find a good toy on sale.
If you have a goal to meet, don't get sidetracked by those dishes in the sink or other things that need doing.
Label the laundry. Not only does it avoid lost items, it makes it easier for everyone in the family to sort and put away laundry. Keep the marking pen in your laundry supplies.
If you thrash your junk drawer looking for items, get a drawer organizer.
Maintain diaper-changing stations both upstairs and downstairs.
Give your kids the tools to keep their stuff tidy: shoe boxes, plastic dish pans, baskets, tin cans, etc.
Use your local library and librarian to get the latest information on just about everything.
Delegate household chores to the children, even if it seems easier to do it yourself. Communicate your expectations and in time, they'll become competent while learning family teamwork.
"Hire" your older kids to play with the younger ones while you prepare dinner.
Double the recipe and freeze one.
Don't pick up all day. Do it once with everyone's help.
Shop by phone.
If you have a computer, put your Christmas card list on computer.
Encourage small children to help in the kitchen with easy chores like tearing lettuce, snapping beans, stirring, etc.
Buy in bulk.
Make dentist, doctor and haircut appointments for several members of your family back-to-back and save the time you'd spend in the car.
Listen to books on tape when you're commuting, cleaning or exercising.
Carry a pocket calculator.
Don't strive for perfect--it's a perfect waste of time.
