Don't incessantly check emails:
Unless you work in an industry that requires instant responses and action to emails, limit your email tracking to a couple of times a day. Stopping what you're doing to check every new email can distract you and make you lose focus on the current task. So allot specific times in the day to check and respond to emails - perhaps once when you start work, once before lunch and one before you wrap up for the day.
Carry snacks no matter where you go:
If you wait till you're starving, your body will start tiring due to lack of glucose and productivity will dip. Snacking every couple of hours is not only good for your metabolism, but will also keep your energy levels high, enabling you to work at your optimum. Plus, it will prevent you from bingeing on unhealthy food due to extreme hunger. You cannot rely on finding healthy snacks on-the-go. Better to carry them with you and check to make sure you have enough each morning before you head out.
Buy a portable charger:
It's a pain in the posterior when your phone decides to blink with the annoying sign of a low battery at the precise minute you're supposed to be on your way to keep an appointment. Save yourself some serious heartache by investing in a powerful battery pack for your phone.

I remember the days when I had to worry about traffic, and then finding a parking spot and once I was able to conquer the first two missions I still had to keep tabs on my parking meter to avoid a fine. Those were some dark days. It has been a blessing ever since I discovered ParkMobile. No more waiting in line at a parking kiosk, or running to “feed the meter”. Now I can manage the parking meter right from my phone, and also have an option to reserving a spot in a parking garage before a social engagement/meeting. There are more than a million spots and 3,000+ locations all across North America. ParkMobile gives you a smarter way to park when you're on the go. ParkMobile has made life so much easier and is indeed a #SmarterWayToPark.
Spend less time on what you can live without:
Ponder what you're doing that is a waste of time. Maybe it's surfing through your Facebook feed constantly. Or perhaps you're giving that awful TV show too much of your life. Make an effort to do less by carefully choosing which activities you can remove from your life.
Bottom line is that we all have places to be and goals to achieve. If we don't find better ways of doing things, using all the resources we have at our disposals (e.g. delegation, apps, gadgets, etc.) and prioritize we will not be able to maximize our time without burning out.

The ParkMobile app is a lifesaver when I'm in bigger cities, and I have my local parking app as well, to save time when I'm out doing photoshoots and need to pay really quickly. I also love the idea of always having snacks handy. That's a great suggestion!
ReplyDeleteAs a busy working mama, any tips to help save time are totally worth it! These are great hacks!

cute & little
So I'm already failing at these things. I check my mail constantly and always forget snacks.
ReplyDeleteThese are all great saving life hacks. I would love to have that FREE App for faster parking soon.
ReplyDeleteYou always have the best tips!
ReplyDeleteI love how cool this is as no more waiting at the parking and thus save times and the hassle. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to download my cities parking app - it would definitely alleviate the stress of remembering to feed the meter!

I always have a million and one snacks in my purse! I can't survive an entire day without them.
ReplyDeleteI don't own a cary anymore (you really don't need one in London!), but in college I spent SO much time looking around for parking. This app sounds so helpful!

I can TOTALLY relate to the "lazy" thing!! These are great tips and it is great to be reminded of some of these things! xx
ReplyDeleteI agree with your tips and buying myself a portable charger has been one of the best thing I have ever done. Saved me many a times from my phone dying on me.
ReplyDeleteThese are all great tips, it is easy to save, but I admit that I am lazy sometimes too
ReplyDeleteGreat tips here...I love the sound of that app for faster parking. How marvelous!
ReplyDeletelove this topic! every single one of them is such an important tips. Thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips! I need to be better at carrying snacks.
ReplyDeleteFab tips, especially about not constantly checking your emails. And a portable charger can be a lifesaver!
ReplyDeleteThese are really smart! I had no idea that an app for faster parking was even a thing! Definitely going to have to check that out. That is so handy for traveling!
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to find a really good portable charger. Those small ones don’t last long I need a bigger one that keeps a charge for hours!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, checking emails constantly is a sin of mine! Need to stop that. Love this, hope we have this in my country too!

These are great tips! I've never heard of ParkMobile before but it sounds really useful!
ReplyDeleteThe portable charger and snacks are definitely huge things to have on hand. I didn't really think about an app for faster parking, but it sounds like a good idea!
ReplyDeleteThis are definitely great tips! I do all of them except the ParkMobile. I can't believe that I have survived with that app for so long. I'm trying it for sure.
ReplyDeleteAll about having snacks at all times!!! I like to plan ahead as much as possible - to do lists, packing, whatever I can to save time when the day/event comes.
