Set goals and rewards.
If your day starts with coffee and surfing the internet, then you start with "break". You're essentially rewarding yourself without having accomplished anything yet. Better to set small goals and reward yourself when you achieve them.
Use Public Transport
They may not have the comfort and privacy of your car but you save time preparing tasks and offers on your computer, reading your emails and making your phone calls, since someone else is driving.
Limit social media.
Stop checking Facebook all the time. Limit your use of social media to 5 minutes, 3 times a day: morning, noon, night. Like medicine. So you won't miss any of the action and neither will your time.
Instead of meetings, adopt video conferencing.
Meetings are a waste of time. The,whatever discussion you want to have, it can also be done via Skype for example. Quickly, easily and economically.
Less is More
The more stuff you have, the more time you need to care for them. Clothes, shoes, household appliances, gadgets all need care and the corresponding time for cleaning, repair or storage. The simple way of life, it gives you the time to enjoy your life more.
Limit the hours you watch TV.
If you are watching 3 hours of prime time television, you lose approx 1 time in commercials and trailers. If you can't stop watching your favorite serial, burn it to your hard drive and watch it ad-free.
Time is money.
Every minute you think before making a decision, it is sometimes a waste of time. For example, if you are looking for a week on the internet to save 20 euros from the plane tickets you want, it's not worth the trouble or the time. Better to set a time limit of one hour, compare your options and decide.
Learn by listening.
It might lift your spirits, but listening to music while working out is a missed opportunity. Because instead of music you could listen to an audiobook and learn history, political economy etc.
Sleep better, no more.
If you sleep 8 hours but still feel tired, probably not sleeping well. The long hours on the computer, phones or TV before you go to bed, can affect the quality of your sleep. Experts say to avoid screens 1 with 2 hours before bed to sleep better. In this way 7 hours are more than enough and so immediately you have an extra hour.
Use standing orders.
The easiest way to save time is to make standing orders for your accounts. You not only save time but also money since you are not charged overdue interest.
Stop playing games.
They can be fun, but Farmville, Angry Birds κτλ. they eat up your free time without actually giving you anything. Turn them off and your productivity will skyrocket, and with it your free time that can be spent on more creative things.
Call instead of texting.
If you need to exchange important information, a short phone call is much more effective than a series of text messages.
