5 Time Savers #2
1. If you really need a question answered via email, ask it in your subject line.
2. Use your waiting time effectively. Carry 3x5 cards and a pen with you wherever you go, so the next time you’re waiting in the dentist’s office, on line at Starbucks or on hold with a client, you can whip them out and write to-do lists or study presentation points.
3. Cook twice the amount you normally would and freeze half for a quick meal another day.
4. DVR everything. Watch television on your schedule and zap through all the commercials, saving, in some cases, as much as 20 minutes per every hour of show.
5. Caller ID everyone. Blow off long-winded telemarketers and relatives without lifting a handset.
