It's About Time: Time Saving Tips for Every Day - Home or Away [Paperback]

Schar Ward (Author), Vicki Lansky (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 3, 2006

Who doesn’t need more time? Baby boomers care for children, grandchildren, and aging parents. Generation X juggles the needs of career, family, and self. Transitioning into adulthood, Generation Y is confronted with a host of new possibilities and responsibilities. Schar Ward shows how even the most harried multitasker can regain lost time — and sanity. It’s About Time features a host of ingenious shortcuts that shave a minute here and a minute there off everyday household tasks — minutes that add up to hours. Each page offers tips, tricks, and advice for getting the job done right the first time. A breeze to use, the book is sensibly arranged by the categories that cry out for timesaving ideas, including laundry, meal preparation, housework, and car care. Simple tricks like keeping extra trash bags at the bottom of the garbage container and ordering postage stamps online help readers save time, slow down, and enjoy life.

This review is from: It's About Time: Time Saving Tips for Every Day - Home or Away (Paperback)

It's About Time: Time Saving Tips for Every Day - Home or Away is a no-nonsense guide to time management, especially recommended for homemakers, college students, parents, and anyone else desperately pressed for time. Chapters also have tips for freeing up space, though learning to stretch the hours in one's day is the primary focus. From furnishing one's home in such a manner as to make it easier to clean, to arranging one's closet by category so as to pick out what to wear more quickly, to miscellaneous tips, tricks, and techniques for dealing with slow people, It's About Time is a top-notch, easy-to-follow guide that literally pays for itself (since time is money, after all)! "Need to call a 'talker'? Place your call when the 'talker' isn't likely to keep you on the phone or just before lunch or quitting time. Or leave a voice message when you suspect that person will not be there." Highly recommended.
