I make life easier by using a planner and writing everything down in it.

To save time, money, my families health, and the planet, I use Norwex cleaning cloths and water! These things have simplified my life in so many ways and have cut my cleaning time down drastically! My house is cleaner with less effort. The cloths seem expensive, but when you add up what you spend on paper towels and chemical cleaners in a few months, you then realize they will save you mega bucks! Worth every penny in my opinion!

My go to quick meal is a simple but tasty grilled chicken salad. You can buy prepackaged salad mix of your choice, or chop up a head of lettuce. I prefer prepackaged because of course it's quicker. I also buy Perdue precooked frozen grilled chicken slices. Toss those in a frying pan with a 1/4 water so it doesn't stick. After that's done top salad w chicken croutons eggs onions or whatever your heart desires with ranch or whatever your taste buds call for. Great good fast decent meal. My family loves it

To save time I meal prep for 3 days ahead. I have Sunday's and Tuesdays off work so those days I make sure i have dinner ready for dad to serve. I also lay out outfits for the wk for the kiddos. Saves alot of time through the busy hectic wk.

YES! Everything gets placed on a list, so I can check them off as they get done.

I set the coffee maker the night before so I can wake up to a hot cup right away. One of my easy recipes is breakfast for dinner. Eggs and chorizo, a can of beans, and warm up some torillas. It's warm, hearty, filling and cheap! Works well for any size family too.

I'm a list maker. Writing down what needs to get done or picked up while out helps to get everything accomplished. And we freeze dinner portions of home made spaghetti, chili, pulled pork, etc for times when we need a quick and easy meal.

I meal prep my salad by buying pre-packaged stir fry kits and mix with pre-washed field greens. Then I just add Johnsonvilles Flame Grilled pre-cooked chicken breast. They are individually packaged so it's easy to drop them into my lunch sack.

Do everything the night before, like pick out outfits, make snacks for the next day. Meal planning helps to save time during the week. Easy tuna sandwich recipe: Tuna salad, tomato, lettuce, mayo, on pita or favorite bread!

Some of my favorite quick fix foods are mixed cold cereal (cheerios, raisin bran with a little granola for sweetness) with mixed nuts and fresh berries or a banana with peanut butter for quick breakfasts to get out the door in the morning.

I use the notepad app on my smartphone to write to do lists and shopping lists and can easily cross items off after finished or purchased.

My favorite quick fix food is black beans (from a can)and swiss cheese in a tortilla and warm it up. To jazz it up dip it in picante sauce. Done. It was so good when I needed a quick fix for food.

Thank you for this article. It really encourages me to continue to declutter my life. My favorite thing to do to save time is to run in the house. My Uncle said that when I was little I would run everywhere instead of walk. So what if I'm grown now. When I have to go throw something away or take clothes to the laundry room I run. It is fun I smile and I get a bit of excercise like a burst of energy and I get there faster. :)

Trying to plan everything and keep things organize .

I pack lunches the night before to save from running around in the morning. I also try to plan for the next day's breakfast by either asking my family what they might want in the morning for easy breakfasts such as cereal, waffles, etc. But I also sometimes make egg muffin cups and keep them in the fridge or freezer so they can be popped in the microwave and enjoyed as a quick, but better for you breakfast. Here's one of the recipes I use. You can add veggies or meat to make them the way you like! 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners. 2. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in onion, green pepper, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spoon into muffin cups. 3. Bake in preheated oven until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
