I make myself a checklist.

Prep for the day the night before - I make a pitcher of cold-brewed coffee to start the week, overnight oats and Mason jar salads for breakfasts and lunches and can be out the door with my coffee and meals for the day with little fuss.

My fave way to make life easier is to pick my outfits out the night before, so I don't have to make decisions in the morning. My best easy recipe is tacos!

My favorite way to make life easier is to play music and dance around while doing chores to make them more fun.

I save time by deciding on the weekend what we are going to eat during the week and buying everything I need. That way I don't have to try and decide what we are going to eat after I get off work and am tired.

Easy recipe is to make homemade pizzas. Either making our own dough or buy a ball of dough at the store and let the kids add sauce, oregano, cheese and (sometimes) a topping and throw it on the grill. Kids rave about their meal and like to help create it too

My time saving tip is to have a temporary hidden space for the kids' artwork/crafts/etc that they come home with and aren't 'keepers' Most of the stuff, I'll be able to get rid of shortly but for those few random things that they remember a week later, I can still pull it out instead of needing to spend the time trying to talk them out of a meltdown

I make like easier by doing food prep and chopping at the beginning of the week on Sundays. My favorite recipe is Jerk Pork Chops, made with jerk sauce, garlic, green peppers, a pound of pork tenderloins, salt, pepper, and onion. Sooo delish!

My favorite easy recipe is a veggie baked potato. I bake a potato and top it with cooked veggies. I'll serve it with a salad on the side for a great meal. I also love serving up veggie burgers with baked sweet potato fries, so easy to make and delicious!

My favorite way to make life easier is to write a to do list every morning to keep you on task and get things done. I do this at work so I know my goals and what to tackle for the day. Also, I make chores like house cleaning more fun by listening to music, dancing with the broom and making it fun and upbeat.

Write a list! Quick go to meal, nachos... Brown some burger, season with taco packet, put on tortillas, top with cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, etc

My favorite is lagsaña and pizza

when I work from home, I'll use my lunch break to get in a work out or run a few errands - helps me have more free time in the evening.

I really thrive when I set time limits and also give myself breaks to just enjoy life. I really have to struggle to stay focused when checking email or doing anything too tedious, so I try to set loose time limits and push through. I've been setting aside time for fun lately so I don't miss out on enjoyable things like reading, watching tv shows, gardening, playing with pets outside, and cooking from scratch. My go-to-recipe for the summer is to roast garden veggies in the oven with cheese, Italian seasoning, salt/pepper, and olive oil. Most things taste surprisingly good roasted and the prep is pretty easy. My hero chef Ina Garten is a big fan of roasting vegetables!

Make a list and stick to your list. Do one task at a time so you don't get side tracked in doing something that was not on your " to do list". Plan enough time to get it done.
