Errands

Always keep a running list of groceries and household items that you need replenished. One very handy software that has this function is my grocery application that I have got installed in my mobile. Everyone has a mobile nowadays and as functional as a hard copy list that you can take along, nowadays a mobile software application is just the perfect piece to serve this purpose. Adding up to your outstanding list takes off the burden of cramming when it is time to go shopping. If there will be any additions, there will only but little to add therein.


In doing errands, always make sure to patronize stores around the vicinity of your work place or home so that you will not need to travel very far. Always make it a habit to do errands when you are on your way to do somethings else. This is hitting two birds with one stone. This will serve you better than make special trips for errands.

If there are just errands that are just to a far off and several locations, always make sure to schedule the trips to minimize wasted travel time. Always make it a point to have back to back trips to the doctors or dentist for the whole family.

Always get members of your family to participate and help out with errands. And always attach a note with instructions. This is simple delegation and will eventually help your kids even as they are expected to share responsibilities around the house. Use Buzzfuse* to easily rate, review, and share this item
