5 Practical Time Saving Tips
Are you looking for practical ways to save time without cutting corners? Then you’ve come to the right place.
Here are 5 practical time-saving tips you can start using today.
1. Scheduling: By creating and sticking to a daily schedule, you’ll save enormous amounts of time because you can stay focused on the task at hand, instead of what’s next.
You’ll also want to add events to a family calendar on the fridge, that way you’ll know when and where each family member needs to be for their different activities. Plus, you’ll avoid the last-minute rush and forgotten appointments when the family schedule is centralized.
2. Delegate, Delegate, Delegate! Whenever possible, delegate work tasks, the daily chores or responsibilities where you are not needed to a virtual assistant, other capable family members or part-time workers.
We have the strength of communities, families, and teams for a reason. You don’t have to do everything yourself. And you shouldn’t! Stay in your genius zone!!
3. Learn to Say No: Once in a while, you;ll be asked to do more than time allows. In these moments, you must learn to say no politely, and then either delegate the task or re- schedule for a more appropriate time.
By respecting your time, others will respect you, too.
4. Utilize Idle Time: While sitting in a waiting room or during your daily commute, use your time wisely.
You can catch up on emails, work on that important report, or plan out your shopping list. Whatever it is, when you use idle time, you’re giving yourself more quality time with your family when you’re home.
5. Group Similar Tasks: Learning to incorporate tasks together that you can do at the same time will save you lots of time in the long run.
Do the dishes or pick up around the house while chatting on the phone.
When you go to the restroom, spray some cleanser in the sink and quickly wipe it down when you’re finished.
When you de-clutter a table or countertop, dust it off at the same time.
When you go to turn off the TV the kids left on, take a dust cloth with you and give it a couple of quick swipes.
Saving time doesn’t have to cut into your lifestyle. By adopting and incorporating just a few of these ideas, you’ll soon spend more time doing the things you want to do!
