• When using your computer, add a few keyboard shortcuts to your repertoire. 
• Use Ctrl+U for Underline, Ctrl+B for Bold, and Ctrl+I for Italics  
• While you are typing (enter the command just before you want the new formatting to start and again right after when you want it to end) so that you don't have to lift your fingers off the keyboard to switch to the mouse.  
• Ctrl+ - or + will zoom in/out on the screen  

It may only save you seconds but your writing will flow much better.

• If you scan receipts to your computer, there is no need to scan every receipt right away. Instead, as you come home with a new sales receipt, put it in a box or basket close to where you keep your bag or empty your pockets. Then regularly go through the receipts and discard the ones that you know don't need to keep, like grocery store or restaurant receipts not related to your business. Only scan the remaining receipts you need to keep for possible refund, warranty or business/tax needs so that you don't waste time.
• Important documents: set up a folder that is readily accessible, but not out in the open, for your important family documents such as health cards, passports and citizenship cards, etc. This way, when anyone in the family needs one of these cards, it can be found quickly without hunting around the house!

Put your mind to the task of finding more shortcuts that you can come up with to simplify your daily routine. We all do things differently and what works for one person may not make sense to another. So challenge yourself to examine what you can do to make something easier for yourself today!
