3 tips that work for me:
* Once a week I defrost several pkgs of meat in a cake pan in the refrigerator & most days I prepare dinner first thing in the morning so it’s out of the way & ready to go. Laundry is next to kitchen so I do a load at the same time (multi task). Then shower & get ready for the day.
* Our house is little (1100 sq feet on the main floor) very open & easy to clean which I do Friday. Some Friday’s I do more than others. Wednesday’s I clean bathrooms. To clean up my sewing room (downstairs) I set a kitchen timer for 10 minutes and I can do much in that amount of time.
* Young adult family member stayed with us a while, he got up 4am made coffee & quietly read a book until time to get ready for work. This taught me I’ve probably had enough sleep by 5am so arise and get moving. Laying awake in bed or dozing really accomplishes nothing in my life.
