Get Rid of Just One Step!
Think of all of the tasks you do everyday that have multiple steps; routine stuff like checking voicemail, using your computer and meeting with people.

What if you eliminated just one extra step in one of those tasks?  It doesn't sound like much at first, but 2 things happen:
  1. You'll streamline routine behaviors and save little bits of time that start to add up, so you can have more time for the things you'd like to do.
  2. It's addicting. Once you start looking for the unnecessary actions, you'll notice even more! I recommend starting with one, so you get the reward of noticing how gratifying it is not doing that one thing anymore.

It's easy to do with a little effort that has a big payoff everyday. Here are a few that I've helped clients around the world notice:

  • Get your cell phone to auto-enter your password, so you when you dial "Voice Mail" it automatically plays your messages.

  • Add people's phone and email info to your Address Books as you receive their info. (Your cell phone probably has a "Add To Address Book" as a feature, and in Outlook Email, you just drag the email message to the Address Book to make a new Contact.)

  • Learn the speedkey to send an email without clicking the SEND button (in Outlook it is: Control + Enter).

  • Set up auto-launch for the programs you use everyday. I have Outlook, Firefox, and Skype open automatically every time I reboot my computer.

  • When you promise to do something for someone, write it down, Text, Email or Jott yourself right then and there! Don't wait until later and hope you remember.



Good luck with these ideas, and feel free to click Reply to this email to send me ones that you come up with that save you the most time.
