Do as much as you can at night, like setting out your clothes, pack the parts of the kids' lunches that can be packed ahead of time, set out your kids' clothes, prepare for work.Brush and shave in the shower.Keep all important numbers in the same place, and easy to find.Make meals that can be made in one pan, and in 30 minutes or less. Also make enough so there are leftovers that can be used for lunches at work.Clean up after yourself while you are cooking.Place the dishes the kids use at a level where they can reach them.Use liquid soap in the bathroom.Use bathroom cleaning products designed to clean more easily and quickly.Dust before vacuuming.Reduce clutter, no need to over decorate.Ask the kids to help with the cleaning. This will save time besides giving the kids some responsibility.Establish a rule that the kids pick up after themselves.Keep a laundry basket in each kid's room.Make sure you remain organized. Using a filing cabinet does wonders.Make your bed every day. It just gives you a little more self worth.
By saving a few MOMENTS here and there, in the long run you will end up saving HOURS. All it takes is an open mind, and a little common sense. All you need to do is look at everything in a different way (outside the box).
Some Laundry tips. The most important rule with laundry is: keep the AMOUNT of laundry down. As a single dad, there are many ways to accomplish this. Start by wearing some of your things 2 or even 3 times. If they don't have any odor, and look fine, why not? The same goes for towels...why not? Also, when doing laundry, ironing can be avoided by hanging up the clothes immediately after running them through the dryer. Wrinkles will be minimized.
Some grocery shopping tips. Avoid weekends. If you want it to be an easy, fast trip with short lines, you should go either early in the morning, or later in the evening. If you want to meet a single woman, try going to a store near an apartment complex. Stores in a lower income area may have better prices. If you want to shop in a cleaner, nicer lit store, go to a store that was more recently built.
