How do you make life easier?

I do only buy clothes that I don´t have to iron, saves time and energy!
I do also have somebody to clean once a week and we go eating outside a lot.
I would not use paper and plastic cups etc. because thats bad for the environment.

great thread idea! I wish we wre near a big enough town for online groceries! I think I will ask my sister if she is interested in 2x mo cleaning as that is one thing I am having issues with feeling like I 'need' to catch up on instead of enjoying myself.

Right now I:
Buy in bulk so no wasted trips to 'buy milk' etc
use disposable kitchen stuff alot that I buy in bulk
cook on grill or in crock pot alot (less dishes & time)
use swiffers on all floors
swiffer dusters really save time
have quick sweep that you use wet with washable cloths instead of mop bucket
get ready@gym in am so I dont have to drive back home and do it
use docs etc right near work as opposed to home so I can go on way home from work or on my lunch hour
use vacu sealer to freeze extras for busy days

Great thread idea. You all have inspired me to buy my groceries online. I hate bringing the groceries into the house, it takes so much out of me! And I think LouLou's on to something. It's got to be cheaper because I wouldn't buy as much junk just because it looks yummy!

I would love to get my groceries delivered! We have 4 grocery stores within 7 mins. of the house (not including the SuperWalmart) and none deliver <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> . I would probably save $ too, because of the "that looks cute/yummy/neat" syndrome!

My husband keeps saying he'll get me a cleaning lady (he does when I'm sick, and we had a lady who came in for about a year -6 months during pregnancy,and 6 months after), but I don't need a cleaning lady these days as much as I need a picker-upper lady, and I can clean it myself then-LOL.

I do the "as many errands as I can in one trip" thing (we have "shopping day" on Wednesday), with a day off to stay home and relax, do laundry, whatever in between days when I go swim M/W/F.

I am working on the organization thing, but it's going realllllyyyy slowlllyyyy....
I need a professional, and some free $ to hire them! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
