Life is complicated. I don t know about you， but it seems to me that it s<br >getting more complicated with each passing moment. In spite of all the<br >technology and labor-saving devices out there， most of us still feel as if<br >we re just one step ahead of the eight ball--and are sometimes crushed<br >by it when our systems fail.<br > I m going to make the wild assumption that you d rather take a bike<br >ride than spend 3 hours paying your bills， that you d rather sit in the sand-<br >box with your children than look for a lost library book， or that you d love<br >to have another hour at work instead of visiting the grocery store for the<br >fourth time in a week. Time is one of our most precious resources， and<br >how we allocate our time is key to managing our lives.<br > How， then， do we manage to get more in control of our time and<br >stuff? There are ways and systems you can adopt to make your life run<br > like a well-oiled machine. There will always be screw -ups，<br >of course，humans being what they are， but you can set things in motion--The Lazy Way--to minimize routine chores and maximize your free time.<br ><br >
