Everyone can use more time, especially busy families that have a lot to do daily. Home life, school, and work can feel overwhelming, so try these six tips the next chance you get.
Night Preparation Whenever Possible
It’s a good habit to prepare everything you need the night before, including your bag and outfit. You can eliminate frantic searching and having to panic if you don’t find the thing you need on that day.
Delegate Chores
Regular decluttering eliminates the need to do spring cleaning. You only do it for 10-15 minutes a day compared to a whole day or two of full-house cleaning. Assign age-appropriate chores and create a chart so your family members won’t have to ask.
Use Technology the Smart Way
Technology can be used to save time. For instance, you can have your smart speaker schedule appointments, homework deadlines, and more. The same device can create a shopping list or give you lunch or dinner ideas with the ingredients you have.
Don’t Forget Self-Care and Relaxation
At the end of the week, everyone deserves a little rest and relaxation. Make sure that everyone gets a good night’s sleep and has their own ‘me’ time. This leads to health and wellness benefits, such as better mood, energy, and focus so you can enjoy living in your new Faber Residence unit.
Meal Preparation and Cooking
Meal prep can be done ahead of time with some planning. In fact, you can schedule a week’s worth of meals with basic ingredients and help from apps or the internet. As an added bonus, you can order in from grocery apps or quick dishes via food delivery.
Streamlined Communication
Miscommunication often leads to wasted time, so it’s best to be efficient and streamlined. Keep a group chat active and use time blocks for errands, activities, and work. Prioritize the most important tasks and do them first.
