There are a lot of ways to save yourself time and energy around the house. For today’s tips I have listed ways to save time when doing the little or even those big household chores. There are tips for everything from cooking to cleaning. These tips aren’t just shortcuts either, they are ways to do the things you have to do, the way you have to do them, but save yourself time as well. Once you master them you will be able to cut your meal prep time in half, clean without being overwhelmed and better prioritize and organize your life.
Random
• Dedicate 15 solid minutes to a heavy task that lies before you and then leave it. Next time when you return you will feel better and it won’t seem so immense.
• Learn to prioritize, ask yourself if you are doing the thing that needs to be done first, if it isn’t do what needs to be done.
• Time is money. Consider hiring someone to do the things it would take you hours to do, such as housecleaning and lawn mowing. It will free up some time with your family.
• Clean your windows every so often, you will be surprised how much brighter everything seems and you won’t have to do a deep cleaning later.
• No matter how tired you are, don’t leave your dishes in the kitchen overnight, it is depressing,leaves your kitchen smelling,and makes more for you to do the next day.
Food
• Cook meals and/or prepare ingredients for the next day’s meal the night before.
• Cook twice as much as you would normally cook and freeze half for a quick meal another day. The freezer works better the fuller it is anyway right?
• Buy a small food chopper and puree your own baby food from what you eat daily. Rinse spicy food off in water and use a little chicken stock or juice to moisten the food.
• Freeze pureed baby food in clean ice cube trays then pop them out and store in airtight bags- labeled. You can create entire meals this way.
• Prepare large amounts of chopped onions, jalapeno’s, sweet peppers, and other chopped ingredients you need and freeze them. It saves you time the next time you need them.
