Is it bad that the first thing that came to mind was "I drink" lol
Nope because wine was my first reaction as well!

Re: What do you do to make your life easier?
I don't worry about stuff I can't control.
I don't concern myself with other people's business if it has no direct impact on my and DH's lives.
I am very organized, DH calls it something else not so nice.
At almost 50 I've developed a "whatever" attitude.
I still get stressed sometimes but then I take a deeper look and see what I can do about it.
A cold beer or two every once in a while help too.

What do you do to make your life easier?
This one I am still learning... Let my husband take on a few tasks... Yes, it prob won't get done the way I would do it, but at least it's less off my plate... I try to take on everything and become so overwhelmed doing so.

Re: What do you do to make your life easier?
1. Meal plan and cook on my weekend including cool coffee and green tea afternoon pickup..my treat for the week is hot coffee from McDonald's or the coffee truck
2. Plan my work clothes for the week ahead before I do laundry.
3. Clean a little bit most nights
4. Shopping online
5. All my errands in one trip or after work
6. Pack my lunches the night before.. I get home exhausted so it is nice to have my meals all prepared

Re: What do you do to make your life easier?
My struggle is time management with 1 yr old twins when both DH and I work full time. We are a complete mess! Doesn't help that the twins are TERRIBLE sleepers.  
I need every tip possible on how to make my life easier! The only things I can think of are i shop daily on Amazon (PRIME!!), buy food/snacks for the girls on diapers.com and get diapers on auto shipment from The Honest Company.

Re: What do you do to make your life easier?
I'm learning to let go. With DC1, I was pretty anal with stuff and wanted things done my way all.the.time. I would be a b!tch if they weren't. Now with two DCs, I just can't be like that. If the kids are healthy, safe, and happy, that's all I care about. It doesn't matter if I come home from work and they're messy from eating and playing, etc.
Last year we got professional lawn care because it was literally taking up the whole weekend for DH to do it. I need to find housecleaning help. We desperately need it and with two kids and both working full time, we can't do it ourselves.
I need to get clutter under control, both paperwork and clothes, so if anyone has any tips, please share!

I'm this way too. I've let go of a lot, including what other people think because life is too short. I'm a single mom and commute to the city with 12hr days so I have a cleaning lady and landscapers. I have my old nanny come every Monday and change sheets, do laundry, and grocery shops for me which is amazing. I'm OK with takeout once or twice a week because we would eat too late. I shop solely online. I buy my breakfast and lunch. All of that stuff leaves time for me to focus at night on their school stuff and on errands and time with my kids on the weekends since I get so little during the week.
