[quote=Anonymous]Come up with a list of easy and good recipes and then make a meal plan for several weeks, alternating these recipes. I make a lot of soups and stews which can be made ahead and last for several days. I will often make a few of these on a Sunday for the week. It helps that dinner is already done and I may only need to make something simple to add to it.

If you haven't done it already start using online banking. We have all of our utilities set ups for automatic payments so we never forget to pay one. Our other bills are set up with online banking when we get them in the mail. When I get the credit card bill I set-up payment for the day I want and it is already done. I don't need to look at it again.

We do the same as the PP by setting out everything that needs to go with us in the morning - backpacks are already packed (my kids do that), all paperwork I need to take is next to my phone so that I don't forget them. We don't go as far as setting out clothes, but my kids are a little older so they can handle getting dressed by themselves in the morning. We've gotten it down to about 10 minutes to make sure everything needed is there.

Someone else said it too - routines are important. And communication of these routines with your family. You don't need to take on all the responsibility yourself! Get your kids to handle stuff, get your spouse to do some things. It should be a family effort to be organized, on time and settled. It's often too much for just one person to take on themselves. Enlist your family!
