You’ve probably heard the phrase time is money — which essentially emphasizes the fact that time is finite, and therefore very valuable — so it’s crucial to make the best of this valuable resource in order to get the best results in whatever it is you’re doing.

In other words, time is precious, which is why we’re always looking for more, new ways to save time — as well as ways to avoid time-suckers (both the people kind and the daily task kind).

In this case, we’re talking about little ways to save time throughout the day — whether it’s to make your day more efficient or to simply avoid getting annoyed as often.

Time-saving hacks to make your life easier

It’s the little things that can make your daily routine a lot easier and a lot less stressful. Sometimes it’s a little trick that can make you feel better and more efficient — or ways to automate your daily tasks so you can focus on the bigger things in life.

A few quick tricks to increase your daily productivity:

  • Have a realistic to-do list every day: If you have trouble managing your time, make a to-do list. If you already have trouble getting through your daily to-do list, make it shorter — prioritize three to five most important tasks and make sure you get those done before moving on.
  • Turn off social media notifications that end up sucking up half of your day — then check them at night.
  • Learn to say no.
  • Take short breaks: You can stare at that project or email as long as you want, but the thoughts won’t magically appear the longer you stare. Take a break to clear your head.
