I hate that moment when I realize I won't be able to get everything done that I want to in a day. And it comes every day, no matter what. At work? Yep. At home? Yep. On the weekend? Yep. On vacation? Yep.
My husbands answer is usually to abridge my to do list, but I think u finally figured it out. Multitasking.... But I really mean multitasking.
It all started when one of our cars was in the shop. Branden would drive me to work, and I discovered that I could save 10-15 min every day by doing my makeup in the car, and today I discovered two new tricks
1. Cooking. I usually have trouble finding time to put things together for our meals. But since I'm on my new budgeting kick, I'm trying to make our food $ stretch, and that means more home cooked meals and bagged lunches. Tonight while fixing dinner (oven-baked chili tilapia, green beans and creamed potatoes) I decided to take advantage of my cooking equipment. After I cubed my potatoes, I cut veggies for our lunches and for tomorrow's meatloaf, and made tuna salad for my sandwich tomorrow. Ass soon as I get home again, I'm planning on mixing up some eggs for an omelette tomorrow morning. Hopefully this will mean a healthier and more budget friendly eating style for me and my family.
2. Me time. This is usually the first thing to go when I'm running out of time in the evenings. So tonight, when I wanted to spend some time checking out pinterest, I could only justify it if I kept it from being a distraction from the things I needed to get done. So what did I do? I downloaded the pinterest app, and did it while on the elliptical, and I wrote this post.
