The phrase ‘too much to do, too little time' seems to be on the tip of the tongue of most people living in Dubai. The fast-paced nature of life in a city like this leaves us with no time to ourselves. Constantly busy with life's day-to-day activities and those oh so annoying errands, we forget ourselves.

Think about the time you have to spend commuting and queuing at the bank to deposit a cheque. Or even doing your grocery shopping; every week you go to the supermarket, more-or-less pick up the same things, stand in a never-ending queue and make your way back home. Here are some facts you didn't know about your weekly errands:

• We can spend more than half our spare time running errands
• Around 20% of our time at work is spent on errands
• If you need to get any errands done around areas like JBR/Marina it takes up to 30 minutes during the weekend to find a parking space
• You can spend around 15 – 20 minutes at traffic signals if you are heading in or out of areas likes Al Barsha or  Deira to get your errands done
• It can take up to 30 minutes to get onto Sheikh Zayed Road from Discovery Gardens at times, before you are even en route to your destination
• A large part of our weekend is used up running around trying to get things done, while we're supposed to enjoy time with our family, friends, or enjoying time to ourselves.

We are told that there are many ways to manage errands. Some people advise to plan your week in advance – but how often do things go according to plan? Others say create a to-do list, but what if that list seems never ending? Some say cut down the time spent in front of the TV, but what if all you're craving is a spare 30 minutes in your day to sit down, put your feet up and have the TV on? Or what if you want to get lost in that book that's been sitting on the shelf for a while now collecting dust?
