Not enough hours in your day?

There are just not enough hours in the day and you feel as if you're being pulled in five different directions. Where will you find more time? Here are some ideas.

Take action:
Plan ahead – try to avoid making separate trips to the chemist, the video shop and the supermarket; stay out of office politics – your life is busy and you simply don’t have time to get worked up about what the secretary does in her two-hour lunch breaks; buy household necessities in bulk – this will avoid desperate trips to the 24-hour-shop to buy toilet paper or cat food; list children's activities – put a copy of this on the fridge and carry one with you; make permanent arrangements with domestic workers and babysitters; make lists of things to remember; and don't procrastinate – do those unpleasant chores immediately.
