One thing that is always a problem in my house is when somebody gets a glass, uses it, and sits it down. By the time that person goes to get their glass it's in the dishwasher because somebody else didn't know if it was being used or not. A great tip to help this is to designate a spot for cups that are being used on one of your counters. This way nobody will be trying to guess whether or not the cup is being used.
Another tip I like is that when you are cooking save all of your trash in one area and then take it to the trash can in one trip that way you are not making frequent trips to the trash can. This tip can also be used for other times when you are not cooking but have lots of trash that you need to throw away.
A couple months ago I wrote down a date that was a couple weeks ahead. When I went back and looked at my note I didn't know what the date meant. It turned out that the date was my grandma's birthday, that is why keeping your your important dates on one calendar is also helpful so that you are not forgetting why the date is important.
One thing that I really dislike other then forgetting why a date is important is when I get home from the grocery store and realize I forgot to get something I really needed and have to go to the store again just to get that one thing. One way I have learned to avoid this is to keep one shopping list somewhere that you can write everything you need as you realize you need it. I have found that it is easy just to make a note about the stuff you need in the notebook tool of your cell phone if you have one.
Hopefully these tips will help you to save time so that your days feel longer then your to do list!
