How to add an hour to your day
| Health and Fitness |
Whether it's hitting the snooze button, mindlessly surfing the Internet or even “watching and waiting” for the water to get hot enough in the shower, everyone wastes time throughout their day. Be aware of common daily time wasters; and by eliminating some (or all), you'll be able to get much more out of your day.
Lists That Work for You
If your “to-do” list is too long it may actually prevent you from crossing things off. Try creating a shorter list that includes only your top three priorities each day – you'll get a major self-esteem boost when you can cross off all three tasks, day after day, motivating you to do more in the same amount of time.
Watching, Waiting and Searching
Don't waste your time babysitting household items. Instead of watching and waiting for your shower to get to the perfect temperature or for the bath to fill, let the latest technology help save time. The new ioDIGITAL digital showering and bath system from Moen Canada is like having your own personal digital “butler,” so you can spend that time living, instead of waiting. You can program your vertical spa to deliver personalized, precise temperature and flow; turn on the shower with a remote from across the room or while still in bed; or fill your bath to the perfect level and temperature with the touch of a button – no more watching and waiting! Best of all, ioDIGITAL's intelligent interface provides quick, visual feedback, with LED indicators that will tell you when your water is ready – no more guessing if your shower or bath is ready and no more time wasting.
Searching for everyday items is another major time waster. To help, create designated spaces to store each of your “must have” daily items: keep your keys and purse on hooks or shelves near the front door, and add a magnetic paper and pen caddy to the fridge for lists and messages.
Quick Tips
Try out some of these additional suggestions to add an hour (or more) to your day:
• Stock a set of cleaning supplies in a caddy on each floor of your home to prevent running up and down the stairs when you need something.
• Keep kitchen garbage can liners in the bottom of the garbage pail for easy refilling.
• Stash disinfecting wipes in every bathroom for quick clean up.
• Book the first appointment of the day with doctors and dentists, while they're still on-schedule.
• List credit card numbers on a single index card and keep it in a safe place as a quick reference when ordering online or over the phone.
• Speed up the mail opening process with a letter opener and don't even bother with junk mail – toss it straight into the recycling bin or shredder.
• Arrange to have at least one monthly bill paid directly from your checking account or credit card account.
