√ Prioritize items on your to-do list if you feel like you're spinning your wheels.  use A for the items that have to be done today, B for the things you should do today, and C for the tasks you hope to do.
 

√ Never wait for anyone or anything.  Always carry something to do with you when you go out -- a reading file or a project, perhaps.
 

√ Save time by making fewer decisions during the week.  For example, make a list of kids' lunches.  Each evening or morning, simply pack the next one on the list.
 

√ Plan 60 or 90 days out for everything:  purchases, to-do's and projects.  You'll save time and money.
 

√ Spend your TV viewing time wisely.  Pay bills, clip coupons, iron, or work on tomorrow's to-do list while watching your favorite programs.
 

√ Make doctor's appointments for first thing in the morning.  Run errands and grocery shop early morning also.  Do everything you can during off-hours to save LOTS of time (and stress!).
 

√ Spend ten minutes at the end of your workday planning and making tomorrow's to-do list.
 

√ Save time at the video store by keeping a list in your planner of movies you want to see.  Video previews, newspaper reviews and television entertainment shows have information on new movies and videos. 
 

√ Plan only 75% of your day.  Allow for emergencies and interruptions.  The more organized you are, the easier it will be to deal with last-minute and unexpected problems.

√ Save time by withdrawing enough cash to last until you receive your next paycheck. Stopping at the bank once every two weeks instead of twice a week can save you 19 hours per year!
 

√ Delegate.  It's the number one time saver!  You can barter, hire or beg.  Start with neighbors, co-workers and college students.
