In addition to my home biz, I work full time away from home, so time is at a premium. My favorite time saver is to toss a load of laundry into the washer as I'm rushing my 4 year old off to school. When I get home, I switch it to the dryer, jump on my treadmill for 30 minutes. After that, I can fold the 1st load, have breakfast, then fold the 2nd load. Another great time and money saver is to get a load going right before bed time.
Utilities are cheaper after peak hours.
You can dry or fold while kids are eating breakfast. I use a crock pot to cook my meals. I can start it early in the morning and it is ready when we are ready to eat. No more having to stop working to fix dinner. I do my grocery shopping on-line.
