I need more hours!

There isn't enough hours in the day. I get up at 5 am starting my business, waking kids up at 6:30am and spend the entire day working on my computer. I need more hours to do everything I want done. Ladies, give me tips.... New to this website....

I second what the two ladies before me wrote and add time management. When I have a day that seems like it's going to be overwhelming I break it down into time segments. 20 minutes at a time with a timer. I've been doing this for at least a month now and it's fantastic! Plus, after 3 20 minute sections I know the dryer is done and I can switch the laundry and just getting the laundry done on top of everything else makes me feel like I've accomplished something.

Welcome to WIM! Keep looking around, if you have a chance, and you'll find more great helpful hints.

Hi, Jennifer! The members here are full of great ideas (and many are in the same boat that you are). I'm always looking for more time, too. Sometimes, I can carve that out by multitasking, but more often than not it's just a juggle -- figuring out what doesn't need to get done right away and then trying to focus on the things that can't wait.

Oh, I so hear you! My husband asked me if there was anything special I wanted as a gift -I told him a way to slow down the clock so I had more time!:)

As for tips - is there anything that you're doing that you can cut down on? Say, could you order takeout once a week to save time on cooking? Or get your groceries delivered so you have extra time to be with your kids or work?
