Household Hints
Get More Done In Less Time

Everyone wants their house to be picked up, clutter free and clean. Use my household hints to get your house in great shape for you and ready for unexpected guests. Everyone wants their clothes clean, their dishes washed and their errands run. Everyone wants to have tasty, healthy meals. Everyone also wants to have free time to have fun, and do all the other things they want to do.

But what do most people do?

They put aside some of these things.

They don't want to go through the trouble of planning meals, cooking and cleaning up after. They go out to eat, order takeout or go through the drive-through.

Doing dishes and laundry is a lot of tedious work so they let dishes and laundry pile up.

Picking up stuff and putting it away is a bother so they let their house get cluttered and messy.

Cleaning is hard work so they let the cleaning slide.

If you don't take care of the basics of life your life will be harder. The more you avoid these household hints the more difficult your life will become. You will just accept a messy, dirty, cluttered house. You will go out to eat a lot. You will just wear whatever is clean rather than wearing your best clothes. You will avoid having people over and be upset if someone stops by.

The only thing worse than accepting your life like that is spending all your time picking up your stuff, putting it away, cleaning, doing laundry and making elaborate meals. Another waste is to spend most of a day just to run errands.

Your house may be clean and look uncluttered. You may have everything done. Your clothes may be clean. You may be cooking at home. But you won't have time or energy to do what you really want to do. You won't have time to read, or watch your favorite shows. You won't have time to exercise or enjoy your hobbies. You won't have time to go out and see friends or develop new relationships.

What is missing is free time.

I want a clean, uncluttered house too. I want clean clothes. I want to make good food that is tasty and healthy. I want to have my errands run. But what I want the most is to have lots and lots of free time to do what I want to do.

The way to obtain the free time you need to go after what you want is to use these household hints to get organized first. If you don't have any free time, you won't be able to get anywhere. It is impossible to make any real progress on any of your goals or to spend time on any of your interests if you don't have any large blocks of time available.

So the first step to improve your life is to use these household hints to get organized. Even just getting a little bit organized or more organized than you are will help. The free time will be immediately seen by you.Start with meal planning because cooking, cleaning up after wards, planning menus, making grocery lists and grocery shopping can take up a huge amount of time.

Another big housework chore to get organized is laundry . You need clean clothes and even if you are doing laundry for just yourself the task can be very time consuming and overwhelming.

You will want to develop a system to clean your home that is efficient and keeps your house at an acceptable level of cleanliness for you.

Errands needs to be planned to avoid the excessive time you spend driving around.

Some additional household hints that really work well are:

1. Setting things out whenever you can.

2. Picking up as you go.

3. Knowing how long it takes to get ready.

4. Having a list of things to do if you only have a few minutes.
