Finding More Time in Your Day

Sometimes it seems like we have more to do than we have hours in the day. As busy wives and mothers there can be little left at the end of your day for much more than a few hours of sleep.

Let’s see if we can’t claim more time so we can be more in control of our day.

1. Get a up a little earlier. Ooooh this one is hard but it does work. Start with 15 minutes or half an hour. And please have a plan for how you will use those extra hours. Have you been having a hard time making breakfast? Use the time to get a handle on breakfast. Take a 15 minute mile walk (use a video or get out in the air). Read your Bible. Make use of that time. You may need to go to bed earlier.
2. If you find yourself with tons of big projects not getting done, whittle them down and do a little bit each day until they are done. You can get a lot done in 15 minutes even. Currently my husband is reorganizing the garage in 30 minute increments after dinner each night. It’s been a couple of months but he’s at the end now and it looks good.
3. Keep a list of your to-do’s.  Don’t overwhelm yourself but keep yourself on task with this list. At the end of the day you may be surprised at how much you have accomplished.
4. Give yourself a deadline and a timeline for working through your tasks.

Before you know it you’ll have more time in your day.
