MORE TIME, MORE MONEY PART 10
1 Plan out your meals at least a week ahead and create your grocery list based on the menu plan.
This will not
only save you time, stress and money, it also makes it supremely easier to stick to healthier
diets instead of succumbing to fastfood and processed
products.
2 Step away from your computer.
The online
world has open up a virtual place teeming with distractions. In order to increase your productivity, try to do most of your work offline.
3 If you are fond of watching TV, invest in Tivo.
Consider
using DVR or Tivo to effectively cut down one hour television show down to
40 minutes.
4 Choose to auto-pay your bills.
Through
making use of an automated system, you will save time processing payments and going to payment centers. In
addition, you also eliminate those late fees as well as increased interest rates for
missed payments.
5 Learn important
keyboard shortcuts.
Knowing
shortcuts will save you a considerable amount of time, so try to learn shorter keyboard commands, such as Ctrl +S
to save, etc. This is especially useful if your work requires you to work on a computer on a regular
basis.
6 Choose to get up earlier.
Going about your
chores while everyone else is asleep and the house is still quiet will cut down work in a fraction of
the time you usually spend. This is a very practical
solution if you have small children running around, which makes it almost
impossible to conduct a decent cleanup.
7 Choose to shop online whenever it’s possible.
Instead of going
through racks upon racks of clothing, shoes, or any other consumer
items, by opting
to shop online,
you can cut down shopping
time, gas expense, and curb
impulse buying. This is especially helpful and a practical option during the holidays. If you don’t
exactly relish the thought of joining the rest of a few hundred other shoppers, then do your shopping online.
8 Invest in speeding up your Internet
by getting broadband
connection.
If your work and productivity greatly relies on your access to the internet, then
it’s only feasible that you ensure
you have a stable, reliable
connection.
9 Work on improving your typing speed.
Whether it’s
writing an email or an article or just about any other task that requires encoding, you can save a
significant amount of time by increasing your
typing speed.
10. Get Caller
ID so you can avoid those unnecessary phone time.
Avoid calls that are not particularly important and prevent
these from
distracting you from you work.
