Shop online
Save your precious time, not to mention trolley rage, by ordering your shopping online. Once you've set up your list with one supermarket, you can just tweak it every week.
Never Leave a Room Empty
Each time you leave a room, take a look around and see what you can take with you and return to it's rightful place. Whether it's putting toys back in the children's rooms or lugging the laundry about, multi-tasking your movements could save you running up and down the stairs all day.
Make a present cupboard
Be honest, how many times do you find yourself dashing out to the shops for a last-minute birthday card or present? Make sure you never get caught out again by buying cards in bulk and snapping up gifts whenever you happen to see them. Buy some stamps, gift-wrap and Jiffy bags and store them. Not only you will be super-organised but if you've bought everything in the sales, you'll also be better off!
Sort out your washing
Have two washing baskets on the go and separate your light and dark clothes as soon as you've taken them off.
Use hero products
Why use 2 products when you can use 1? Look out for products that will save you time and money, like antibacterial cleaning products, 2-in-1 shampoos/conditioners and tinted eye creams.
Skip those ads
Record all your favourite shows and watch them later. That way, you can fast-forward through the ads and use the time for catching up on some extra beauty sleep.
Abandon the gym
Swap your weekly gym trip for an hour's housework and you'll kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Vacuuming burns 119 cals in 30 mins and scrubbing floors uses 129. Add lunges while you vacuum and bum clenches whenever you're at the sink and you've earned yourself a very productive and free workout.
Ditch the paperwork
Decide to handle each piece of paper only once, and that will force you to tackle all admin straight away. When you get a bill, pay it, reply to all invitations immediately and note any important information. Then file or get rid of the paperwork.
Chop the cooking time
Use frozen veg rather than fresh ones to save time chopping and peeling. Research shows that frozen is healthier anyway, as all the nutrients are locked in. If you do need to use fresh, chop into small pieces and they'll cook quicker.
Keep a running shopping list
Are you always popping back to the shops for things you've forgotten? or do you spend ages rooting around before going out to see what you need? Keep a running shopping list and get the family to add to it in time for your shop.
