Time Saving Prescription

Taking your daily vitamins/pills is great, but opening multiple bottles one at a time every day wastes time when you need it most. Instead, pre-sort your pills into a pillbox or switch to a daily multi-vitamin to save time in the morning.

How much time do you spend trying to creatively position an empty shopping cart so that it doesn’t roll out into the parking lot, or into another car? Save yourself time and aggravation and just bring it back to where it belongs.

Cart Games

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Shopping without a list means wandering up and down the aisles slowly, getting distracted by unnecessary purchases and forgetting important items. Shop more efficiently and save time by preparing a list before you go.

Got List?

A recent study commissioned by Crucial.com shows that on average, we waste 16 minutes per day, two hours per week and four days per year just waiting for our computers to “catch up” to us. So, instead of pounding your fists in rage, just extend the life of your computer and give it a performance boost with a money saving, do-it-yourself computer memory (RAM) upgrade at Crucial.com

Computer Time

If wearing a uniform isn’t included in your job description, then you’ve probably found yourself standing in front of your closet, deciding what to wear, all while the minutes tick away. Save time and think less in the morning by laying out your clothes the night before.

Lay It Out

You’ll likely save yourself time by parking in the first available spot rather than circling around a crowded lot looking for a spot closer to the entrance. You’ll even get a little exercise by briskly walking to your destination.

Just Park It

More than a third of Americans hit the snooze button on their alarms three or more times every morning. Depending on your snooze settings, you could be wasting close to 30 minutes a day trying to get back to sleep. Consider changing your settings for shorter snooze times, or better yet, stop procrastinating and just get out of bed.

De-Snooze

If you simply must be the first in line to see your favorite comic book hero come to life on the big screen, then plan ahead. Buy your tickets online, have a friend hold your place in line.

Skip The Lines

A 2010 survey revealed that the average shower time is just over 8 minutes long. If that seems preposterously short, then there’s a good chance your morning bathroom routine is taking too long. Learn to shower more efficiently and streamline your morning tasks; brew your coffee while you shower, brush your teeth while you condition your hair.

Shower Multitasking

Eating a diet low in fiber wastes time in an unexpected way: sitting on the toilet while you struggle and strain. For smooth moves, eat more fiber, drink more water and shorten those trips to the bathroom.
