To ask for your tips on time management?

[ImSuchABigIdiot]

I’d be interested to hear your tips on time management please :)

I’m finding it hard to find time for different things at the moment alongside my job.

For example ,I do sport a couple of times a week and some volunteering for a couple of hours at the weekend, as well as writing a blog, which I’d like to get back into after not updating it for a while.

I’d like to try and keep Sunday as a totally free day if I can, but am finding it difficult to find time for general bits of housework alongside the volunteering, sport and the blog.

I’ve made a rough plan of what to do on each weekday to keep things ticking over, but I’m not sure how sustainable that is. Does anyone else do anything similar?

Does anyone have any advice please?

Bump :)

Do you have dc? and / or a partner? or is it just you ?

How long you out the house for work (as in work time + commute)?

How big is the home you are trying to keep tidy / clean ?

I’m single, and live with flatmates in a fairly big flat. I’m normally out the house between 7:30 and 5:30 (sometimes for a little bit longer) every day during the week. On Saturdays, I’m normally out between 10:30 and 2.

Try and do it together as flatmates, many hands make light work.

Thanks, welshmist, that’s a good idea.

You need to get yourself on a schedule. You know the time requirements for each activity. For housework, between flat mates it shouldn't take that long. If they aren't doing any of it I would look at getting a cleaner once a week for the communal areas. When it's split 2-3 ways it's often very affordable.

My week is mapped out the week before. Each activity has different time commitments depending on the week. I also have 3DC, 2 with special needs and their appointments need one of us to attend. I save so much time because I know what I'm doing and what needs to be accomplished during that time period. For housework, set a timer for 10mins in each room. It's shocking how much more you get done.
