Secrets of Success

Set the timer

This isn't a new secret to most, but setting the timer for 10-15 minutes to get in some cleaning works well for me and sometimes it motivates me to keep going to finish a project.

meal plan

I plan my meals a day ahead this keeps me on track and there are no surprises and I stay within ranges

Spend a few minutes each day to see results

Each night before bed, my family spends a few minutes cleaning or straightening something in the house. Sometimes papers get filed, sometimes dishes get washed, sometimes a load of laundry goes in. Now my cleaning time is cut down because each day I spend less than 30 minutes doing some cleaning!

Clip your keys

Put a clip or latch on your keychain and keep it clipped to your purse handle, totebag, etc. This way, your keys will always be easy to access and you won't be spending time digging through everything else.

Time management

No one thinks they have enough time in the day! Do all your cooking in one batch on the weekend. Make enough for lunch and dinner for 5 or 6 days of the week. This free's up a TON of time in the week, and leaves you with one "play" day to eat something different.
