How to Add an Hour to Your DayEasy ways to streamline your daily routine:
It is possible to save up to an hour a day, if you cut out four daily time wasters says Jamie Novak, author of 1000 Best Quick and Easy Time-Saving Strategies.
- Dozing Off
Most people hit the snooze button three times. Plug in your alarm clock across the room so you’re not tempted to sneak in extra shut eye. Time Saved: 21 minutes
- Rooting Through Cosmetics
Group morning and evening makeup in separate clear bags. Now, when you want your neutral-colored lipstick, not your saucy-red evening shade, you’ll know just where it is. Time Saved: 10 minutes
- Getting Caught in the Web ( I never do this!)
Minutes can turn into hours when you’re Googling. Set a timer, and when it goes off that’s it. Time saved: 40 minutes
- Opening Mail
Speed up the process with a letter opener and don’t even bother with junk mail. Toss it straight into the recycling bin or shredder. Time saved: 6 minutes
Total Time Saved: 1 Hour and 17 Minutes

That a great idea...to sort make-up. I have it in small baskets...in my drawer. However, it still gets all messed up. Thanks for the tip!
What about watching All My Children, that doesn't count right?
Great!
Great tips! I always say I don't have enough time. But, I do sit at the computer and read a lot of blogs before I want to start my day.
