Want to now how Uncle Ben’s is my LifeSaver? Read on….

This may not be the norm for a productivity/organizational tip, but it has been a lifesaver for me. My husband was laid off for a while so as a mother that works from home I forgot how hard it can be to balance taking care of my son and working. Not to mention before my husband got laid off my son could not crawl or walk, so it was much easier. Now my husband has been back to work for a month, and although I am getting back in the grove when it comes to work and chasing my son around, I am still missing that necessity – FOOD.

About two months ago I won three bags of ‘Uncle Bens Ready Rice’ and well – lets say I do not enter the kitchen much, so my husband made the other two bags, and although they tasted yummy, back then I never experienced the best part of ‘Uncle Bens Ready Rice’ and that is making it.

This past Monday I was in the kitchen making Jackson lunch, he is fussing at me because I am not moving fast enough and I am scouring the cabinets for something quick to make, and there is nothing.  Some days I can just go without eating lunch, well today was not one of those days. Thankfully I came across the bag of ‘Uncle Bens Ready Rice’ I can’t tell you how good the words ‘ 90 seconds’ looked.

Of course I added some butter, because I am incapable of being healthy it seems.

As odd as it is, this is my productivity tip ‘Uncle Bens Ready Rice’ I know it bought me a number of things, bought me 30 more minutes in the day, bought me less of a headache from my 16 month old screaming for his mom to come feed him, bought me a happier day as I was not grumpy due to lack of nutrition.

What is your Productivity Tip? What helps you get through the day?
