|
 | Prioritize items on your to-do list if you feel
like you're spinning your wheels. use A for the items that have
to be done today, B for the things you should do today, and C for the
tasks you hope to do.
|
| Never wait for anyone or anything. Always
carry something to do with you when you go out -- a reading file or a
project, perhaps.
|
| Save time by making fewer decisions during the
week. For example, make a list of kids' lunches. Each
evening or morning, simply pack the next one on the list.
|
| Plan 60 or 90 days out for everything:
purchases, to-do's and projects. You'll save time and money.
|
| Spend your TV viewing time wisely. Pay bills,
clip coupons, iron, or work on tomorrow's to-do list while watching
your favorite programs.
|
| Make doctor's appointments for first thing in the
morning. Run errands and grocery shop early morning also.
Do everything you can during off-hours to save LOTS of time (and
stress!).
|
| Spend ten minutes at the end of your workday
planning and making tomorrow's to-do list.
|
| Save time at the video store by keeping a list in
your planner of movies you want to see. Video previews,
newspaper reviews and television entertainment shows have information
on new movies and videos.
|
|
Plan only 75% of your day. Allow for emergencies
and interruptions. The more organized you are, the easier it will be
to deal with last-minute and unexpected problems. |
|
|
| Save time by withdrawing enough cash to last until
you receive your next paycheck. Stopping at the bank once every two
weeks instead of twice a week can save you 19 hours per year!
|
| Delegate. It's the number one time saver!
You can barter, hire or beg. Start with neighbors, co-workers
and college students.
