Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just have an extra hour just to get everything done each day? I hate that feeling, so I’ve been looking for ways to manage my time better, and get more done. It’s been working really well! On the days when I feel far too busy and stressed before, I now find I have time to de-stress a little between jobs. Here are my top ten tips for managing your time…

1. Make a list

Do you always remember the things you have to do everyday? Making a to-do list makes it much more achievable, as you won’t forget anything and you’ll be motivated by being able to tick it off. I make my list on the calendar, but a normal note pad will do fine too!

2. Buy presents online

Do you need to find him a gift for your upcoming anniversary or is it time for gift season again? Save yourself the time of trekking around shops and working out the best price by buying presents online. Most places will even gift wrap for a small fee, which will mean you don’t have to commit much time to present giving at all. You’ll be surprised how much free time you’ll get!

3. Make a cleaning plan

Write down what needs to be done everyday and what needs to be done once a week. If you have anyone who can help, get them to choose a task and write their name by it. Then ask them to tick it off when it is done. Having a plan will keep you on track!
