Hacks To Use Your Time Wisely!
We only get 24 hours a day! So many of us, Spend it on mindless garbage.
How do we accomplish our goals this way? We aren't fair to ourselves when we don't use our time in smart ways. We can't possibly make all of our dreams come true! Here are some tips to help you use your time better.
Don't Use Snooze
Using the Snooze button is a bad idea, If you go back to bed, you are more likely to wake up feeling even worse than if you were just to get out of bed. Set your alarm clock on the other side of the room to ensure you have to take a long walk to turn it off. This will wake you up enough so you won't be able to go back to sleep.
Don't use your electronics
There is nothing wrong with having a cell phone, and using it frequently. But don't use it when you walk down the street Or are in the middle of doing something else. Multi-tasking slows you down so you don't get as much done that you could think of. But your phone down, Or put it in an another room.
Delegate What you Can
If you don't have time for everything in your day, Find ways to delegate the responsibilities to others. Not only will you have less to do, But you can get more done.
- Pay someone to clean your pet areas, And feed your pet. Or give your dog a walk.
- Pay someone to grocery shop for you.
There are apps for that! - Consider hiring a Virtual Assistant for all your needs.
Avoid your email
It's easy to get caught up in your email clutter that piles up all day long. Have two times a day where you check it for 10 minutes or so. Then get off of it, and stay off. You don't need to spend all day on your email. It's like Facebook it can easily become addicting.
Don't Argue Online
Many people love to get in arguments, But unless your success depends on you winning as many online arguments as possible. It's not worth pursuing. Just give it up already!
- No one will change their opinion in the conclusion of the argument.
- You could lose friends over it. Or lose the respect of your peers.
- It also wastes a TON of time!
So don't bother, If drama starts up, Walk away knowing you saved a lot of time.
Cut back on Facebook & TV
These are HUGE time wasters. Sure some of us Entrepreneurs need Facebook to help advertise our products and our business. But unless you are advertising GET OFF!
You can easily spend all day watching tv or mindlessly browsing your newsfeed and accomplish nothing. It's weird how something that wastes so much time can be so satisfying. Have rules for yourself and stick to them!
It's easy to save time, You just have to decide
- How much is your time worth? Then decide if the action is worth it, or if it should be halted.
When I thinking about a time. I'm always keep in mind this song
Hahha Now I'm going to get it stuck in my head too!
Great, thank you @kaylinart. This is like a response to my latest post. So thank you! :)
heheh No problem :)
These are good advices @kaylinart !
Even that they should be just plain comon sence more and more people neglect them and...well... "ACCIDENTS" happen like:
It is just comon sence to stop...and..look left and right...left again and right and then cross the street.
I seen with my eyes accidents like this ...kids crossing and texting or the driver texting and BOOM accident.
I shouted CAR CAR or kid, kid but he could not hear me because he had speakers on his ears.
All I could do was just call the ambulance and all what they could do was to pronounce him Dead
there will BE NO CUTTING BACK ON STEEMIT : )
My lady she cannot walk to the bathroom without her mobile cell phone . . .
Her sleep App records every move she makes and rates her sleep pattern; and she feels like crap ! ! !
Yet to suggest she turn the stupid electronic off has the same affect as saying all females are communists . . .
The perfect way to start a household global war : )

Try and simplify your life; drop the cell phone into the fish tank with the minnows ! ! !
Wow!! LOL this is so funny! I used to record my sleep time with my phone, BUt i didn't spend all day on it! I think it's crazy that people are so addicted to their phones these days!
My lady uses an app to track her adult children's phones; often I hear . . .
" Why is he / she there ? " , when they are away at college, this app can show if they are in the living room = awake, or theoretically asleep in their bedroom next to the living room.
My lady spends so much time trying to avoid any potential problem she is usually so stressed and sleep deprived she lacks the human resources to try and fix any problems that unexpectedly blindside her.
To my mind; this is all a result of the " blonde gene " , something I am glad of. Otherwise she probably would not hang with a fat, old, ugly smelly dude on the ' dark side ' of 50 : )

You got my upvote on this one for simply saying "don't argue online." It's so easy for us to fall into a debate online to the point of risking internet troll status..lol.
Hehe so true! I got to that point, But I eventually had to get after myself. It just got ridiculous.
Great tips; here are a couple of extra ones. Used the Chrome extension Stay Focused, that way you can limit your FB and email usage; you set it to allow you 10 mins a day 6 days a week (Sundays are permitted).
Next one is to wake up at 5 a.m. and to cut your sleep back to first 6 hours and then 5. That way you are consciously alive for longer, there you go, I've just extended your life by a couple of years with that one.
You're welcome! :-D

True!! To set alarm clock on the other side of the room, this always makes me wake up, but if i set it jut next to me, it doesnt work, and i dont even remember what happened afterwards, i just kept sleeping.
