Make a list of everything you need to do. Write broad categories for common sense routines. Rather than "trim the grass," "edge the lawn," "cut the hedge," simply put "yard work." This reduces the amount of time spent scheduling and increases your efficiency.

2
Put the things that need to be done in logical order so that they support each other. Going to the grocery store after dropping children off at football practice is a good use of time and gasoline.
