Are You Making Your Time Count?

Filed under: Business — Guest Author @ 7:32 am

The technological revolution is sending us spinning into the future. Work weeks are getting longer, more family members are working, and we are all on demand to get things done faster. Time the new currency more valued then money, is something many of us feel we are running out of. The following contains several tips to help you save time.

Fast food is an obvious time saver. It can help us all get to work on time by offering breakfast in minutes at the drive through. It can save us the time that it takes to cook our own lunch and supper. It also saves us the time that it takes to clean up the dishes afterward. Beware making unhealthy choices when it comes to these meals though or you will risk health problems in the future as well as weight gain. Healthier ready-made options can be found in the deli section of your local grocery market.

As hard as it is, turn off the e-mail notices. There is nothing so urgent about e-mail that you have to check it as soon as the computer tells you that you have mail. If there is an emergency, the message sender will call you. Schedule two or three times during your day to devote to reading and replying to mail instead.

Cut down on surfing time. The internet is full of distractions and surfing the net can eat up hours without you even realizing it. Social media is an important part of keeping up with society, however, it is sufficient to schedule time to spend updating each one only once or twice a week. You would be surprised how much more you find yourself getting done when you limit your browser time.

Get enough sleep. Too many people trade sleep for work to save time. The truth of the matter is, you need to be well rested to run efficiently. It is called a power nap for a reason. So take them, the time you “lose” during the nap will be more than made up for in the new found efficiency you will have.

As much as you may deny it, or think you are the exception, multi-tasking is a huge time waster. When you divide your attention some of it gets lost in trying to keep things straight so each multi-tasked project is getting less than it’s allotted attention. By doing one thing at a time, you will get them done much more quickly.

It all really boils down to removing all the time-wasters in your day. If you pay close attention to all your tasks in a typical day and make a note of how much gets done during each task, you will be surprised at what you will find that is unnecessary. Commuting is a perfect example. You may not have thought of it before but the trip to work and back and time stuck in traffic is a huge time waster. Taking advantage of flex time will help you avoid traffic and give you new found time that you may not even know what to do with!
