An easier way to do things

Are you always in the search for easier ways to get things accomplished?  I am.  I want to get the same results but easier and quicker.  I was sitting here watching my MIL sit and look at her mail, something to help her pass her time and I was wondering what each one of you have learned to do much easier and quicker than you used to do it.

I have learned, which not really learned this I always knew it but just now decided I better do it since my time is cut shorter with being caregiver of my MIL, as I take my clothes off to put my jammies on at night, I automatically hang them  up. I used to have the bad habit of laying them on the cedar chest at the foot of our bed and then letting them stay there.  Messy, huh?  no more. I hand them up and put them away and now my room looks much neater.  That cuts on my housekeeping time also.

While I am emptying the dishwasher and reloading it, I also clean the cabinet top and sink while I am right there.

I have a to -do notebook that i put everything that needs to be done in and that way I don't forget to do it.  I don't have to worry about trying to remember what I am supposed to do so that takes away some stress.

Tell me what you have simplified in your life. God bless you!
