[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work about 55 hours a week, OP, and organization is the key.

- I went totally old-school and bought a big calendar with large daily squares to keep track of my hours, birthdays, events, etc which for some reason helped me more than an electronic calendar.

- I also have a set routine for cleaning on section of my house every morning as a PP mentioned and do make most of my dinners on Sunday or make sure I have frozen dinners.

- What you want to avoid is running out of something (like toilet paper or deodorant) and needing to run out in the late evening so make sure you have back-ups of everything.

- All social events pretty much need to be scheduled.  I have to force myself to go out (although once I am out I always have a good time).   [/quote]

+1 I have a big paper planner too. It's so much easier for me to stay organized with one instead of an electronic one. It has lots of space -- I have different sections for work, exercise, and activities with friends. Love it.

PP brought up a good point about things like toilet paper. What I usually do is buy two of something (let's say toothpaste. They usually offer boxes of two anyway). When I use up one tube of toothpaste and still have a full tube left, I'll make a note to buy more toothpaste. That way I never run out. Same with toilet paper -- I buy more when I'm down to the last 3 or 4 rolls instead of waiting until the very end of things.

Agree with PP about food too. I make sure to keep a few frozen meals on hand in case I need to grab something quick, but I also try and meal prep a lot too. Sometimes it's small things -- keeping bananas and apples on hand, cutting up fruit and veggies so they're washed and in individual containers, making something like meatballs and freezing the extras, etc. [/quote]
