Time Saving Household Tips

If you are at all like me, there aren't enough hours in the day for you. Now that I am writing full time and setting up a doll museum, my life is not my own, add to that family, teens, pets, extended family, committees, church, other responsibilities and a knee injury, well, you get it.


I hold it together; and function, well, more than function.  I learned multitasking in  grad school; I was in law school and did my Masters at the same time.  I did fine in both, made it to class, took my finals, published a little, and never had to ask for an Incomplete.  I even took ballet on Saturdays and ran in my spare time.


So, here are a couple tips.


1.  This morning, I got up first, and it was quiet.  I made my breakfast, which is simple, instant oatmeal and bran with fruit, maybe a little cheese, and coffee.  While I made coffee, I started on the dishes.


2. While I was eating, I finished the dishes and tidied up.


3.  I laid out my clothes from the night before, even on weekends.


4.  I did some of my social media work for various companies and checked email


5.  The rest of Saturday is errands and light housework.


6. I like to write and type on front of my British sitcoms and Miss Fisher Mysteries in the evening if we aren't out. 


7. I write it, yes write it, all down in my calendar.


Happy Weekend!  More survival tips soon.  You may not end up House Beautiful, but you will be House Sane and House Livable, without "all falling down" like in Jennifer Weiner's novel.
