¤fl€l$-l s lt has been said that 0 fourth to 0 half of all the work done   ‘ T
in industry and in the home is unnecessary. Can you do away with E
T parts of your home tasks and have good results? Yes, you can . A Q.
é make your work easier, quicker and even better if you plan the Q_
- Y€¤l$ order of work 0nd gain better skills. The following suggestions *
hou"' will help you to do your project work in 0 better way. Probably T -
*€lPlll9 you can think of other ways to improve your work besides those y '
mentioned here. l -
lng 'I. Study your job. Make 0 list of all the home work you do.
y For each task, write down the order in which you do it. Then see
» if you can change the order of doing so that you will do it easier,
UW quicker, or better.
¤llY . 2. Leave out the part of the job that is unnecessary. Scald
dishes in 0 rack and let them dry; fold sheets as they come from
the line and either not iron them at all or press-fold them; in
do- ~ cooking, save dishwashing by using fewer utensils. l Q
_with0 3. Make one job of two. ln preparing meals, serve foods in   l`
i Should The dishes in which they were baked and serve meat and vegetables l
hl may A 0¤ The same platter. ln ironing handkerchiefs or pillow slips, fold T T
S 4 as you iron. l
llherq 4- Make both hands work. lt saves time to use both hands. l
lnstead of overworking the right hand, use both when doing such .
. tasks as dusting, setting the table, and putting away dishes.
5. Keep needed things in easy reach. Needless steps mean
yasted time and energy. Group the supplies and equipment needed
Or baking and mixing. Put all ironing equipment together. As-
_ semble cleaning supplies in 0 kit or box.  
6. Use the best tool for the task. Use jar lifters for removing
l¤rs from the canner, pot holders for lifting hot pans, a pastry y
blender for mixing biscuits and pie crust. l
method; » 7- Sit to work whenever you can. If you have G high Sl'OOl, YOU
y can sit while ironing or while preparing vegetables.
