This can be a hard thing to pull off at times. We get tired from work, And order fast food instead of preparing a meal. This habits can eventually cause weight gain And a loss of money in the long run.
As well as bad health.
Saving time and having great habits can make a massive difference in the long run.
Grocery shop in bulk
Grocery shopping is often an activity people DON'T Like doing. But once you run out of food your willpower will be low, And you will be more likely to order a pizza.
You can automate certain pantry items on Amazon Or the Thrive Market
That way you won't even think about it. I do this with my rabbit's food. Although you do want to keep track of how much you're using, and if you start to get a little too much, Maybe skip a month or two so you aren't overusing.
Also, you can use Costco memberships to help you buy fruits and vegetables in bulk. Hopefully, in the future, we'll see even more options for bulk buying.
Also buying vegetables in the frozen food isle is a great way to stock up, and be healthy. The vegetables are often frozen at the peak of freshness where some of the produce isles may not be as fresh.
Batch Cook
This is my favorite one! I cook for myself, But I often cook for 4-5 people And throw the leftovers in the fridge. It then eat on them as I get hungry.
It's a great way to avoid eating out Because I always have food that can just be heated up sitting in my fridge. It's healthier and saves me a lot of time Because cooking each, and every meal every day truly adds up.
Or I'll order from a meal company like Freshly That sends me ready to eat meals right to my doorstep, That are healthy so I don't have to worry about gaining weight from my pizza addiction haha!

Use the 2 Minute Rule
One thing that often stresses us out every day is the overkill on our todo lists. We often have a massive amount of things we have to get done everyday. I love the 2-minute rule. Which states,
If it takes 2 minutes or less to do it, Do it NOW. That way it's done, and over with and you can stop thinking about it.
Whether you realize it or not, Stressing out about something and thinking about something wastes a lot fo your time.
It adds up fast.
Make Time For Yourself
Too many workaholics make the mistake of not making time for themselves. They do things for their employers, For friends and family. But they never take a moment to wind down for themselves.
Part of being productive, Is Also giving you adequate breaks and rest. You are more likely to be distracted and not get your job done when you are never taking time for yourself.
Wow @KaylinArt, i took a 10 month break from SteemIt and you're still putting a lot of effort into your posts regularly! If i only was 10% as passionate as you.... :)
Aww You are so sweet :) I'm just so addicted to this place! Hehe.
Nope i'm an asshole, but i have my moments :p
LOL! I'm the same way!! I"m glad your honest with yourself :)
It's "you're honest", not "your honest". See what i mean? ;)
The good thing about following you is that I you post some of the most valuable contents.
Keep it up
Steem on
Right on point @kaylinart . I agree with this.
Sometimes due to our hectic schedule, we don't get to do things that really matter.
I especially like the 2 minute rule idea. Very helpful for lazy people like me :p
Exactly heeh :) I feel like we are all so overwhelmed.
I feel exhausted all the time lol.. Your tips were very helpful :)
Thanks for shairng @kaylinart , we often do what you said, not cooking and ordering fast food from outside, as it is very convenient. I will definitely try to improve my food habits by cooking healthy food and storing in fridge.
Ordering food with the computer and get it delivered is the best timesaver in the world. Feels like you save an entire day!
I love it! I agree I wish more places would do delivery.
Another great read. To add: If you muster the willpower to actually go to the supermarket when already out of food and hungry you end up buying all this junkfood, like everytime.....
OMG! SO True! I relate to that so bad. I always end up coming home with chips, Frozen mac and cheese. And I'm so annoyed by myself later because of it. LOL.. That is why I started shopping on the Thrive market because they don't sell much junk food. too bad they won't deliver produce, and eggs to my house haha.
Haha same same! Good that you found a solution to that though
Useful tips, even if my hubby loves too much to do grocery shopping every week :D
good article i waste all my time
You know home made are the best. Even cooking is fun
For me, all of this make sense after 30!
Batch cooking and bulk shopping are two of our main ways to save time... and money, for that matter. Thankfully we have a large freezer so making our own version of "TV Dinners" (except MUCH healthier!) is part of the routine around here.
Hey I really appreciate few things such as not ordering online and etc. I myself don't order anything, as I know how to cook so I enjoy cooking at home. I think every human being should know how to cook to live.
Two minute rule for the win!
we appreciate your wonderful posts...!
