A minute saved is a minute earned! Try out these 5 quick and easy time saving tips!

SEND BACK THE ORIGINAL.

Rather than typing up a brand new letter, answer routine correspondence right on the original letter you received. Make a copy for your records and mail the original back to the sender with your response.

PREPARE FOR PHONE CALLS.

Before you call someone, make a list of important things you want to say or ask. This way, you won't forget anything, and you won't have to waste time calling back later.

SAVE YOUR WORK OFTEN.

If you use the computer at home or at work, and you're typing a word processing document, or entering data, etc. be sure to keep saving your work at least every 10-15 minutes. If your computer freezes up, you will have retained most of your work, and you won't waste time having to do everything all over again.

FOLD SHEETS IN A PILLOWCASE.

As soon as you pull sheets and pillow cases out of the dryer, or off the line, place all matching flat sheets, fitted sheets and additional pillowcases, inside one of the matching pillowcases. The entire set will be together next time you want to use it.

CREATE A TV-EXERCISE SESSION.

Exercise in front of the TV, while you're catching up on the news, or watching a favorite program. Doing both at the same time could buy you 30-60 minutes of free time later, and your viewing session will be a lot healthier!

Use an expandable filing folder to keep in your vehicle to organize your car maintenance papers, grocery lists, maps, etc. This works well for either long trips or daily errands.

Fold Wash Cloth & Hand towel inside bath towel.It keeps the set together.
When line drying laundry,hang it in groups.Towels here.Mom's stuff there,basically keep it in sets to save walking back & forth or excess sorting in the house.
When hastily pulling stuff down when rain is coming,put wettest stuff in one basket,not so wet in another & don't bother to fold.Then if you have a dryer to Finish them in as we do.You can choose whether to throw the wettest ones in first or the dryest.I usually judge this by whatever else I have or want to do.Even if all that is is Crashing from the effort of dashing & grabbing.
