Here's a few, send in some more.
1. Use a Do-Not-Disturb sign:
A lot of people lose between 30 mintues and 2 hours a day due to interuptions form Co-workers, parents, deliveries, and the like. Don't be one of those people. Use a Do-Not-Disturb sign!
2. Telephone acessories; they're worth it:
Investing 4-8 bucks a month in call display saves you waisted time from calls from telemarketers, and that guy who's always calling you up to ask if he can borrow your lawn mower. And with a headset you can do chores, or schoolwork without wasting any time on the phone.
3. Give your essenntials a home:
A fair slice of a disorganized persons day can be spent looking for things, espeicilly keys and papers. Keeping that stuff all in one place like a bin by the door can help.
4. Aim for Completion, not Perfection:
It's said that perfectionists spend half thier time or more getting the last ten percent of the results. So don't be a perfectionist when you don't have to be. Just get the job done!
5. E-Order:
I know it sounds crazy, but a good time saving tip is to order you food on online grocers and have them delivered right to your door. Sounds lazy maybe, but it's faster than going to the store, getting all the grocires, waiting in the checkout, and driving home.
6. E-mails Ain't All That Urgent!:
Most of you probably read E-mails as soon as you get them. BAD IDEA! Then you lose a couple minutes of time every time you're on the computer and you get an E-mail. It's much faster to just check the inbox once or twice a day. Delete spam without opening it.
7. Get your kids to help:
Many people never do this, and a lot of children won't complian, in fact they often feel valued. Set age approprite chores and don't bother the kids when they're already doing schoolwork.
