Want to get more done today?

How do some people seem to get it all done when we all have 24 hours in a day?   Here's a tip to help you stay on top of your day today!  Decide this morning what your're going to do!   Sounds simple right?   Here's a tip for families to enjoy a nice dinner together when your schedules are hectic.   The busier we get we tend to forgo that meal at home, grab stuff on the go and waste money and calories on processed food.  Let's simplify this so we can save money and time and calories.
  1. Decide what you'll have for dinner in the morning or the night before.
  2. Thaw whatever needs to be thawed.
  3. Prepare whatever needs to be prepared, chopping veggies or measuring ingredients.
  4. If you have small kids at home, make their lunch at breakfast time and while they are eating lunch you can prep dinner.    You can even make YOUR lunch ahead too! Saves time in the kitchen!
  5. Late afternoon/earlly evening your dinner is all but cooked... just cook when it is convenient and re-heat if necessary becuase of kids activities if they run late. 
You and your family can enjoy a home cooked meal without stress.   

Throw a load of laundry in the washer/dryer in the morning, and repeat process at breakfast, lunch and dinnertime and you'll mow through your laundry while allowing you to get OTHER major projects done in larger chunks of your day!  Who says you have to do your laundry all day :)

Just think, you now have large chunks of time to get other productive things done!  Yeah!
