For instance, I purchased a cordless phone. Or, I may do the dishes or throw in a load of laundry or two. So, whenever I walk from one room to another I take something with me to put away. From time to time I find myself waiting, waiting for my son, waiting for my husband, waiting for the babysitter, waiting for the phone repairperson or just waiting. So once again I use those previously wasted moments to pick up toys, put away folded laundry or clean out the refrigerator.
Commercials are another great source of time.
Remember that there are LOTS of chores around the house that CAN be done in 2 or 3 minutes. If you take advantage of those moments you'll find you can do more in seemingly less time. Lastly, don't forget to make productive use of the time you spend in the dentist or doctors' waiting rooms. Be sure to take all the reading you want to catch up on or your bills to pay. You could decide to take your cookbooks or recipe cards to plan the next week's meals and your grocery list at the same time.
