How to Save Time

3 WAYS TO CREATE MORE FREE TIME

Organize. Have a designated place to keep your keys, purse/wallet and your cell phone. Getting these belongings organized is an incredibly simple and effective way to save yourself minutes every day. Try and get in the habit of putting items away after every use.

Plan Your Trips and Consolidate Your Chores

That’s the equivalent of what many of us do with our shopping and chores. Instead, to save time, think ahead. Some things can be picked up or done on the way to or from work. Or a trip to one place can be expanded to include other stops that are close to one another.

Time management is important for busy companies so they can prioritize all their work tasks and achieve their goals faster. When you better manage your time, you’ll be able to take on new opportunities and grow your business in a sustainable manner.

Limit your workday (or adjust your hours).

If you work 8 hours a day, try limiting yourself to 6 hours. You’ll find that you’ll prioritize, work more efficiently, and waste less time, so that you can get the work done within that time frame. I try to give myself a 4- or 5-hour window on most days.

Do yourself a favor. Before you begin organizing and cleaning, declutter first. It doesn’t matter whether you embark on a declutter marathon for thirty days in your entire home, or you randomly pick a place to clean, then declutter that before cleaning.

Dust all surfaces, including all furniture, appliances, baseboards, chair rails, blinds, window frames, fans, stair railings, pictures, mirrors, and light fixtures. Spot clean switches, outlet covers, cabinet fronts, and doors. Vacuum any carpets or rugs. Sweep or vacuum hard floor surfaces and damp mop them.
