The title says it all. I’ve been working part-time lately and yet my extra free time is getting pissed away on pointless things.
I’ve taken a small step today in saving some time. I took my swimming gear with me to work so I could go straight to the pool after work instead of going home first. This is a tiny step, but its in the right direction.

Since I had waaaay too much caffeine earlier this evening I’m going to brain-storm some time-saving measures that I can take to make my life smoother and more efficient.

1. Iron all of my work-clothes in one session, once a week and have them ready and waiting in my closet.
2. Fold all of the clothes and put them away as soon as they are dry.
3. Keep my swimming gear in my back-pack 24/7. Have a spare towel to put in the back-pack while the wet one is drying. Swap towels after each use.
4. Always cook enough for dinner so there are left-overs for lunch the next day… saves time and money, which ultimately saves time.
5. Get up early and… DO SOMETHING!!! (still thinking exactly what I hope to achieve here).
6. Keep a diary to avoid missing deadlines and appointments and important dates, like birthdays and weddings.
7. Make plans for the known and upcoming public holidays and vacation time… 5 weeks till my month’s paid leave… still no plans!
8. Get regular decent sleep so all that time exercising isn’t gone to waste.
9. Find a decent bookshop so I don’t waste time milling around in the same pathetic shop that stocks nothing but the most predictable “best-seller” novels by the same 20 or so authors that banged out the 20 best-selling books that are unsurprisingly similar to the last books they wrote. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed a couple of John Grisham novels back in the mid-1990’s but really… I don’t blame the guy though… if you’re on a good thing, right? (does caffeine make you irritable?)
