Multi-Tasking at Home

Most homemakers are very adept at multi-tasking, but the art form of getting it all done can always be refined. While doing one chore with some "down time", I will do another. Here are some examples:

• While the coffee is brewing, I empty the dishwasher and set the table for breakfast.

• While the bacon is cooking, I set the table and then sweep the kitchen floor. This way, I can watch the bacon, too.

• While the toast is browning, I get the clothes hamper into the laundry room.

• While waiting anywhere for an appointment or picking up the grandkids from a function, I update my written to-do list or work on birthday, anniversary, or get well cards, or even work on the grocery list.

• While getting dressed in the morning, the last thing I take out of the bathroom is the contents of the wastebasket.

I can always get more done if I am doing something additional to the task at hand.
