5 Quick Time Savers!

1. Group tasks. Whether you’ve got to bill clients or pay bills, do like-minded things in one sitting.
2. Keep cheat sheets inside desk drawers or cabinets, especially if you can never remember things like frequently used zip codes, phone numbers or clients’ first names.
3. Be present. Get to the task at hand, and you’ll be surprised how much faster things go.
4. Prepare some dinner ingredients the night before, whether you’re chopping veggies, marinating meat or simply mixing tuna and mayo.
5. When it doubt, farm it out. You don’t have to do everything, particularly if you’ve got the budget to pay someone else to do it.
