Like Mondays, Friday does not come very fast but it does goes away in a blink of an eye and as usually, we get one more excuse to feel sleepy during the next Monday. Frankly speaking, even I am one among you and sometime I go beyond the expectation by taking the entire Monday off. But lately, I have been getting training on Time Management and Project Management, which of course has to be implemented at office, but with all the hardly working compeers, I do not find any need for that. But this concept is pretty handy at the home front. I get more time to sleep and then relax and then sleep again….

Okay, let’s get serious. I have figured out ways to make the better use of the above training at home. Here are the rules;

1. Keep a pen and an A4 size paper (why, because you get it free at office) with you all the time.

2. During the week if you plan/remember something to do in the weekend, take a quick note of it.

3. While taking note prioritize it and mention the time you are going to do it.

4. Always there would be usual stuff to do, make a list of the same and do the above.

5. If you spend more time shopping groceries and waiting at the cash register, split it by doing some/most during the weekdays. You would at least spend less time waiting at the cash register.

6. If you have community provided laundry rooms use it either on early Saturday or late Sunday, I have observed it stays busy for rest of the weekend.

7. Shuffle your tasks and see which one is time saving, movie to grocery on Friday, and grocery to movie on Sunday etc.

8. Try not to postpone the task; next week would be as busier as this week.

9. If you encounter with any unplanned task (you invited someone as a courtesy and the other fellow took it seriously), see how much time it is taking and how can you avoid it (not the courtesy but the invitation).

10. House cleaning is the most favorite job that everybody loves, if you are the odd man out, hire a housekeeper. Find in craigslist under services. They clean better with nominal fees, worth trying.

11. If you have a party to attend, arrange for the gifts and route to the venue during the week.

12. If you are planning to eat out, try to fix a place beforehand, last minute entry would surely get you food but you would have less choice.
