  • SIMPLE LIFE TIP - Saving Minutes Adds Up to Hours

    As we were moving our office, we sorted files and drawers with abandon, finding treasures we had forgotten. One of those treasures was an article that had tips on how to save yourself minutes that could add up to hours. As the months seem to slip by, any hint that helps us save precious time for those things that matter most is welcome! We would like to share a couple of ours with you.


    Tips to Save You Time

    All those precious seconds we spend running up and down the stairs, standing in line or browsing at the video store add up. Here are a few tips to streamline your day.

    1. Put a list of movies you want to rent and books you want to read in your wallet or Palm Pilot.

    2. Sign up for automatic bill pay for as many things as you can - mortgage, utilities, loans, credit cards.

    3. Buy movie tickets in advance using Moviefone or Fandango to avoid wasting time in lines.

    4. Invest in a device that does more than one thing. A phone that is an iPod and contact database; a PDA that syncs with your email, takes pictures, and walks the dog (just kidding, it can't really walk the dog), but you get the idea!

    5. Keep a stash of all-purpose greeting cards on hand, at home and at the office.

    6. When cooking, double the recipe and freeze one- half for those nights you just don't have the time or the energy to start from scratch!

    7. Every time you go the grocery store, buy two. That way you will build a pantry with food that you use!

    8. If you have more than one floor in the house, keep doubles of things that you use all the time (scissors, reading glasses, tape) on each floor in a convenient location.

    9. Buy an extra charger for your phone, computer, iPod. Then when you travel across town, or across the country, you have one already packed!

    10. Put a basket on the stairs to catch everything that needs to go up or down. Then when you are ready to head up or down the stairs grab the basket and take everything with you. Saves you making extra trips - minutes can save hours!

    If you can implement one or two of these suggestions and free up a few minutes here and there, you are on your way to adding hours to your life!

    As organizers, we are always looking for fun and unique storage solutions. This past March at the NAPO conference there was a new product site launching in May. The items that they showed us looked incredibly useful along with being unique.
    One of the items that peaked our interest was the cord storage and charger. Each of us had brought with us a myriad of electronic devices, including all the charging units that were required to run them for a week. As you can see in the picture above, the cord storage and charger device would have provided us with a way to keep those cords straight and charged (have you ever tried to find outlets in the hotel room?) Check out their website for other unique storage solutions!
