My husband and I both work full time and have two kids (22 months and 5 years). Looking for all the life hacks you have that make everything more manageable. I always feel like I am behind at work and home. The yard, papers (like mail and school papers), and clutter are where I struggle the most.
I will share some of mine below:
-no sort laundry, everyone gets their own basket and a day of the week and we do their load
-no fold laundry for kids- my daughter has a ikea cube shelf with cubes labeled by item type and everything goes in there, no folding needed
-pre made outfits for kids in an over the door shoe holder- makes morning a lot easier.
-load and run the dishwasher every night, even if it’s not completely full (this one is my husbands job)
-meal prep lunches on weekends- I make all our lunches for the week on Saturday or Sunday
-eMeals & Walmart +- just started eMeals this year, and man it’s such a time savor and helps with decisions fatigue about dinners. We have used Walmart+ for many years and love the convenience.
-housekeeper- someone comes 2xs a month for an hour and does the linens/toilets/floors. This one saves me hours on the weekends, but would be the first thing I would let go of if money became an issue.
