1. MULTI-TASK.
Do two or more things at once. Exercise in front of the TV,
while you're catching up on the news, or watching a favorite program. Sew a missing button on a blouse, while you're waiting for a pot to boil.
3. STOP RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS.
Tired of running up and down the stairs while you're cleaning? Stock a set of cleaning supplies on each level of
your home.
5. USE KITCHEN SCISSORS.
Stop fumbling with knives. You'll be amazed at the time you can save by simply using kitchen scissors to open bags, chop herbs or cut up fish or poultry.
6. BOOK WHILE YOU'RE THERE.
Whenever you visit your doctor, dentist or hairdresser, bring your datebook and book the next appointment before
you leave the office.
8. STOP WAITING IN LINE.
Make your purchases from the Internet. For the small amount you'll pay in shipping and handling, you will have saved time driving to the store, time waiting in line, and money in fuel costs.
9. OPEN MAIL OVER THE RECYCLING BIN.
Don't carry your mail over to your desk or table where it's bound to pile up and take hours to go through later. Open it right over the recycling bin, and get rid of all unnecessary mail immediately.
12. SET GOALS AND DEADLINES.
Know what you have to do, and attach deadlines to those tasks. Don't waste time constantly having to think about
"what's next."
13. SCREEN YOUR CALLS.
Don't answer the phone every time it rings. If you do, you'll find yourself talking to telemarketers or people who
would be more convenient to talk to at another time. Screen your calls. Only return those you wish to return. And call
back your friends and relatives during a set telephone
hour later.
