Let’s ride

1. Preparing for your Kids’ School Lunches Ahead of Time

This is another way to save time during the week. This involves making freezer-friendly, unperishable, lunches that will last for a week. Remember the food must be a balanced diet. Don’t forget to get their snacks as well.

2. Shop Online

Thanks to technology, everything is made easy. Shopping for your groceries online is one of the best ways you can save time and money because you buy in bulks and dozens. It also saves the energy of moving up and down figuring out what to buy.

3. Get your kids involved in household chores

Kids love it when they are allowed to try out new things by themselves, it makes them feel like heroes and they won’t stop talking about those little chores thy did to anyone around ready to listen to their gist. Getting them to do household chores that are within their capacity, strength, and age such as dishwashing, outsourcing of clothes, sweeping, etc. helps to build their homely upbringing and also saves you more time.

4. Create a Weekly To-do List and Cleaning Schedule

Making a weekly to-do list helps you stay focused and organized. Knowing what to do for the week for your kids and husband’s needs and doing it at the right time. Assigning specific days in a week all-around round weekly cleaning and house chores schedule help to have them completed in chunks and not overwhelm you.

5. Meal planning

Creating a weekly menu plan and grocery list before you order your groceries online or go for outdoor shopping results in time maximization.

When you write down plans of what to make for dinner each night of the week, you will save time and money on groceries because you will be buying only what is needed for the week’s meals.

You can also use weekly meal planning apps to achieve this. Such as Mealime, AnyList, Pepperplate, etc.  Pre-cooking meals in bulk that can be stored in the freezer help reduce weekday meal time stress. Don’t forget to clean as you cook.

This way you avoid having a huge pile of dishes to tackle after enjoying your meal. Littering your kitchen while cooking is bad and unhealthy.

6. Using Online Banking & Bill Pay Services Apps

You might have needs that crash with time such as having to go to work on time and at the same time paying for bills or sending money to the bank.

Remembering how long the queue can be alone can weigh you down and drain you. Thanks to technology, save your time immediately by using online banking and bill pay services apps and get your tasks done easier and faster.

7. AVOID GETTING ADDICTED TO YOUR SCREEN

Watching movies or scrolling through social media feeds can consume a lot of time in a twinkle of an eye. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying you shouldn’t have your relaxation time, you can but let it be when you are much less busy with your family duties and responsibilities.

In conclusion, in all these tips mentioned above, ensure you make time for self-care and rest. Everything works better when the mind and body are calm and energized.

Ensure you sleep well, read good books and be with people that make you feel better.
