a) Limit personal email and computer time.
Figure out a reasonable amount of time you want to spend on email or
the computer and stick to it. Try breaking your email or computer time
up so you're only using it twice a day.
b) Do all of your errands one day a week, working off a list and taking the most efficient route.
c) Create a master calendar in your email in-box.
Then add important appointments and activities and set up reminders for
up to one week ahead. This calendar can be shared with family members
through email. (Google Calendar, a free web-based system, sends
reminders to mobile phones.)
d) Schedule your child's doctor's appointments for first thing in the morning. You're less likely to have a long wait.
