This year commit to choosing three of these suggestions and implement!

If you want to watch our video (it’s about 9 minutes long) – click here 

  1. Say No – No is a complete sentence. Try it out. Say it nicely. Make more room to say ‘yes’ to things that really matter.
  2. Invest 15 minutes – invest 15 minutes in a strategic appointment with yourself today and choose your three not negotiable activities for today to get you closer to your goals.
  3. Unsubscribe – get off mailing list, stop catalogs and junk mail and unsubscribe from things that clutter your life.
  4. Eliminate Clutter – get organized. Spend 15 minutes in each clutter section, organize and move on. Hire someone if you need to. Professional organizers are not a luxury – you will feel lighter when life is organized.
  5. Play a game with time – set the timer on your iPhone and play a game to see how much you can achieve before the timer goes off!
  6. Call instead of email – it’s so much quicker to often pick up the phone, leave a voicemail or talk to a real person. No one phones anymore, be the person who makes an impact with the sound of your voice and achieve so much more rather than be another email in someone’s inbox
  7. Limit social media – do a social media drive-by (I do it while I drink my morning coffee and smoothie) – I check out all platforms for 15 minutes and feels great!
  8. Listen and learn – Play podcasts while you get ready in the morning, drive or while you are working out.
  9. Have the news read to you – we love the app Unamo for a real live person to read up to date news – check it out.
  10. Get it delivered – Amazon delivers almost anything. Find out if your local dry cleaners, grocery store – find services to save you time.
  11. Barter time – trade your time for others. Share car pools for kid’s sport, trade a spreadsheet for a PowerPoint presentation – your talent for time.
  12. Group everything – if you are running errands group them together, in your home place like itemed things together, put your keys in the same place every time (in your handbag or your home).
  13. Halve meetings – start immediately – instead of 60 minutes, choose 30 minutes – voila – save time!
  14. Restrict screen time – commit to those around you that you will limit your attachment to your cell phone time.
  15. Get the app – there is an app for everything. Find the ones you love. We like Noteshelf for note taking, Evernote as a collating system for all our ideas and notes, Cozi for shopping and Pzzizz for power napping.

What ideas would you add? I’d love to hear from you.
