Whether it’s getting fit, eating more healthily or learning to play an instrument, we’ve all got goals in life that require time and one of the best ways to make that time is to find ways to optimize our day. So in this brief post, we’re going to share a handful of useful ways to free up an hour of time in your day.
1. Wake up earlier
One of the only ways to free up time is to sleep less. This sounds like a really bad idea for some of us, but as long as you’re still getting at least 7 hours of sleep, this is a great way to get an extra hour to yourself.
2. Turn your phone off
If you find yourself constantly checking social media and fearing that you’re missing out then stop immediately! You don’t need to check your socials every few minutes. If you need to force yourself, then simply shut off your phone and put it somewhere like in your bedroom so that it won’t tempt you
3. Be more direct
One of the best ways to save a few minutes here and there is to get to the point in a conversation. The less you talk, the faster you get to the reason you’re talking to someone. You might seem cold and a bit blunt, but if you want to save time then this is a great way to do so!
4. Don’t be afraid to hire services
Whether it’s a cleaning service, a gardener or even food delivery, don’t be afraid to spend a bit of money to get things done faster. There are many advantages to this as well, as seen below in the included infographic about professional home cleaners.
