Piggy Backing...kill two birds with one stone  

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Another member used the term, "piggy backing" for chores that can be combined. So, I am asking you for all your "Piggy backing" chores. Maybe we can all save more time and help out those (especially me) who can't see to get ourselves together.


PIGGY BACKING CHORES

I do most of my PB in the kitchen

I made lentils for dinner and went ahead a packed DH lunch for the next day at the same time.

If I am making rolls, I put away some for the next meal.

I cook alot of meat at once and use it throughout the week.

While making dinner I think about tomorrows lunch/ dinner will be and I take out something to be defrosted or I make extra steamed veggies or rice and set it aside for tomorrow.

Making dinner I move any plate, knife I use while cooking into the dishwasher.

While the kids are playing in the bath. I clean the bathroom. Sometimes I do a quick beauty makeover (tweezing eyebrows hee hee)I keep a spray bottle of vinegar under the cabinet. I use the handtowel and then change it out before I leave the bathroom.

I kinda of stole this from another thread but it has to do with Piggy backing saving time around the holidays and to cut out time running around when we just remembered .....ooops someones birthday.

I write out everyone's birthday for the month and next mont and I carry that list so I remember to buy cards for everyone. I don't buy gifts for everyone but I do like to send at least a card.

I scrub the shower while I'm letting conditioner sit in my hair, while I"m still in the shower. I wipe the sink and mirror after I brush my teeth.

I fold laundry while watching my favorite shows.
