What is a non-renewable resource that can't be bought for any price, but we are all given free of charge the day we are born?

I think you know the answer. If not read on.

Are you running around 24/7 trying to get a grip on the 101 things that need to be done just to maintain? I'm not talking about improving your lot here. I'm talking about maintaining your daily existence.

Gathering (shopping) preparing and eating food takes up more time per week than three restful nights (8 hours) of sleeping. This is according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

We need to take back our time spent doing task we don't like to do. How can we do this? Just a little planning is all it takes to saves tons of time.

By being more efficient in doing the routine things in life we put time in the bank to be used for doing something we really want to do. In other words, actually enjoying life more… Let me give a little example of wasted time due to lack of planning.

It's the Christmas holidays and I just got back from shopping for all the holiday meals coming up. No sooner do I get relaxed and start to veg-out when I realize I don't have milk. Out I go again heading to the store. Milk is a necessity in my house, why I left the grocery store without I don't know. I get back and pour myself a tall white frosty one.

Fast-forward two hours. I'm digging through the cupboards trying to find the rarely used oregano spice for the dinner I'm making. It was a holiday dinner so I was trying to impress by cooking lamb. Yep, back out to the store.

My frustration meter was well into the red zone at this point, and that old country song kept running through my head "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights".

I was so struck by this that I actually created a free shopping list web site to help solve the problem called www.GroceryWiz.com .It's purpose is to spare other souls from making the same mistake by allowing visitors to create and manage an online shopping list.

There are so many was of taking back wasted time and this was just one example.

If I had more time I would dig deeper into this topic, but as it stands my time is limited, just like yours.
