There is a Google discussion group called “chatzos,” which is dedicated to women who try to be ready for Shabbos by chatzos of erev Shabbos, and has many many tips as well as encouragement. You’ll have to search for the specific topic you want, though, as it’s not organized by tips. It follows whatever a particular member wants to discuss. But rockymountains summed it up well.
