Ever feel like you don't have enough time in the day to get what you need done?

As a mother, you may feel stressed as every day becomes a time crunch, but there is something you can do about it by adding nearly seven hours to your day.

If there's anybody who needs more hours in the day it's Melissa Glinsmann. She's a physical therapist three times a week, wife and mom to four small children the rest of the time.

"Right now I am potty training three 2 1/2 year olds, so I spend the majority of my day sitting on the bathroom floor," said Melissa Glinsmann, Lincoln.

Between the children and mounds of laundry, time is something she never seems to have enough of.

"Actually right now I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed just with the whole potty training issue and Christmas coming up, finances, trying to do Christmas shopping. How am I going to get everything done?" Glinsmann said.

corporate Wellness Coordinator Karen Rehm said there are ways to get more time into your way.

First, handle your mail, e-mail and voice mail once a day.

"Make a decision on what you can do with it, either keep it, save it or dump it," said Karen Rehm, Corporate Wellness Coordinator.

That can save you up to 20 minutes a day

Second, be decisive and move on. It can add 60 minutes to your day.

"When a situation comes up make sure you address that situation, make a decision and move forward. And it may take a little research -- and that's okay -- but give yourself a time line, give yourself 10 to 15 minutes to make a decision," Rehm said.

Third, lighten up on your cleaning standards. That'll save you up to 45 minutes. Fourth, write it down. That could give you an extra hour.

"If you don't write things down that you need to accomplish then you're trying to spend a lot of time trying to remember what it was," Rehm said.

Another tip is to figure out when you're most productive during the day, then make sure you get rid of all the distractions during your high energy time.

Including e-mails, phone calls and TV. That save you 90 minutes

Finally, monitor time-zapping addictions. On average we spend about 2.6 hours a day watching TV. Cutting back could give you an extra hour.

"Once a month I get together with a friend and we cook all day and then we freeze all our food so I can have all my meals cooked for one month," Glinsmann said.

That, along with teaching her children to help with the house work is helping Glinsmann save time, too. Something she only hopes she can find more of in the future.

Some other tips: Make good use of waiting. If you go to the doctor's office make sure you have something to do like bills to pay or thank-you cards to write. It can save you an extra 30 minutes a day.

Lastly, think halftime. Arrange for a carpool for your child's gymnastic or basketball practice. It will cut your driving time in half and save you about 30 minutes a day.
