The Well Tended Home

We all know how time flies by. Managing our time is one of the most important things when it comes to getting things done and keeping our homes in order. As we know a quick hop online to Google something or check our social media can turn into a couple of hours without us even realizing it. Yet many of the daily tasks we need to do really don't take that long at all if we stay consistent. I have some work to do in the area of time management myself But I think it's the key to having an orderly home. How many times do I dread doing the dishes or tidying up the kitchen, doing laundry, etc. because just looking at it is overwhelming? But then I set a timer and get to work and realize how I just got so much done in just 15 minutes. Imagine what I could accomplish in those couple hours I had just spent doing nothing online.

Here are just a few tips to help you get started managing your time better.

• Rise up early.
• Get a small journal where you can jot down things that need to be done for the day.
• Set several small tasks and prioritize them.
• Mark them off as you've completed them.
• Manage larger tasks when you have extra time such as a weekend.
• Stay focused. Set aside specific time for technology.
• Take a break if you need it.
• Plan to have dinner ready the same time each day and stick to it as best you can.
• SET A TIMER! It realy works.

By managing our time wisely we will have less stress and get more done.

She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27
