Multitasking & Streamlining - Tips and suggestions!

[gravy_train]

I thought for a fun friday activity maybe we could share the ways that we multitask and streamline our activities to make our days go smoother!
Here are some of the things I do:
-I have a huge stockpot and make chili, spaghetti sauce and soups in bulk, portion and freeze it to serve for lunch at daycare.
-I increase what I make for dinner for my family and serve it to the kids for lunch
-I use my slowcooker often and freeze what we haven't eaten.
-I use the last 1/2 hour of my day to tidy the daycare, and get as much of the cleaning done as I can so that my morning is easier.
-I wash and fold my laundry during daycare hours.
-I put the dirty daycare dishes in a bin and run them through the dishwasher once a day - usually when the kids are napping.
-I use naptime as 'me' time (I usually have a cup of tea, chat with friends on facebook or on here, catch up on current events, etc.)
-I pay my bills and do my banking online during freeplay.
-I do most of my baking during daycare and get the kids involved in some way.

Will post more as I think of it! Would love to hear how you streamline your day so your evenings are free for you to be with your family!
