So you want to key to better living, it’s simple. All you need is more time to do things you really want to do. The question is how to get that? Read on and you’ll learn the secrets and shortcuts right now.

On food, you don’t have to cook! I mean you don’t even have to microwave. I always figured that if I could have dinner ready in 3 minutes or less that was sufficient, but now I’ve learned I can eat rich and even right with no effort at all. Locate a favorite gourmet takeout, some cities and areas have a takeout taxi with a group of restaurants being served. Another popular option today, especially for couples and families is to consider hiring a personal chef. These professionals can come to your home and cook up a storm for a week or two at a stretch. Leaving you with a gourmet smelling home for a night, and great meals, no repeats for a week or even two. Today even your favorite grocer has ready made meals for those on the go or just those without the know. Check out the local gourmet deli and takeout for delicious solutions to any hunger.

Give someone else your errands. That’s right, you can get your dry cleaning picked up and delivered door to door. Many pharmacies also offer delivery, or order online. You can even order your postage online these days, saving those agonizing trips to the post office, and missing the chance of a truly postal experience. There are also concierge services independent of the luxury hotel chains, but that do the same sort of errands, ticket ordering, reservations and such. Giving up the so called loose end activities can really be a time saver.

Hire a maid service or a cleaning person. You deserve it! Surely your time is worth more than the $55-$100 it takes to have someone else spend 3-5 hours a week vacuuming, dusting, polishing, and scouring. Besides given the choice between time with friends and cleaning, I'd be with friends, wouldn’t you? If it seems hard to justify because it is just you, have it done biweekly.

Greenery, you’ve got to have it to add life to every room, but oh the maintenance can be a challenge. It is also an important factor in your exterior invitation. Call in Blossom Boxes or any other quick fix solution for your live plant needs both indoors and out. They can establish the right mix of plants, attractive containers, and all you have to do is water (or have your maid water inside and your gardener water outside.) You’d be surprised at what a difference this will make both visually and physically (plants clean the air), and how inviting your place will look. If you really are reluctant to do live, silk is fine, just make sure that the cleaning service of choice knows to spray these monthly with silk floral cleaner (no wiping necessary), so that they don’t wind up being dust trees.

Do you get anxious every time you travel about leaving your favorite Fido or Mitsy home alone? Or perhaps you wrestle them into the pet carrier (often a traumatic experience for you both) and haul them to the vet?? Well, no more, find a pet sitter that you like and who likes your pets. It is much simpler to get them in to take care of Mitsy or Fido, than taking them to the vet every time you travel. Not to mention there is less chance they will pick up any illness in the kennel, and they aren’t stressed by a strange environment. It also is a way to have someone pick up your mail, and water your plants! Worry free travel is hard to come by; this step can make a big difference.

Shortcuts can be about streamlining, about simplifying. Consider eliminating a phone line. That’s right; in this age of technology do you really need a cell phone, a home phone, and a work phone?? Okay so you can’t eliminate work, what about consolidating your home phone to your cell phone? You’ll never be stuck in a power outage, and you’ll have to check one less location for messages. Besides are you ever home to answer anyway?? While you are at it, consider consolidating your multiple email addresses, it isn’t necessary to have more than two unless you are playing with aliases. And at the very least have those all dump to the same location. You’ll also want to be sure you have a spam washer/blocker in place to eliminate the tedium of wading through hundreds of junk mails.

Better living means hiring others to do what you don’t have to. Use a courier service to ease both your workload and personal errands, there are also concierge services mentioned earlier in this article that can help. It is often amazing how much time we lose to running errands, just to pick up a prescription, get film developed, take care of shoe repair, and more. Explore ways that will save you the time, while being a reasonable exchange of dollars for your savings. Once you put a dollar value on your time, you will suddenly realize that if it takes you an hour at $100, and you can hire someone to do it for $20, the economics just make sense. And you’ll have your time back for more valuable work, or necessary play.

Better living is about celebrating this life we are in everyday! And when you really want to blow it out, do it the easy
