picking out clothing
Pick out your outfit and your child's the night before. This will save time (and possible fights!) in the morning. If they are old enough, let them set out their own outfit.
grocery shopping
Spend a few minutes planning a weekly menu and shopping list. You'll go to the grocery store once, not a few times, and won't spend time each day deciding what is for dinner.
following routines
Follow the same routines each day so your children know what to expect. Your days will run more smoothly.
independent children
Let children do all they can by themselves. This helps them feel independent, and frees your time to do the things you need.
managing your home life
Apply the same skills to your home life as you do to your work life, and you will find more time for fun and much less stress.
help with school days
You can help with your child's school in many ways. Volunteer to plan parties, make phone calls, or donate snacks for parties.
smooth mornings
Pack your children's lunches and backpacks the night before. Make sure library books and homework are in the backpacks so you are not running around in the morning looking for these items.
gift labels
Buy preprinted gift labels and note pads. Use the gift labels on birthday presents. No more running around at the last minute for cards. Buy preprinted note pads for school notes, you'll just have to fill in the blanks for things such as: my child will be picked up today by _______, and please excuse my child's absence on _________.
