????Reduce Interruptions

???????????

????If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat?? or if the phone is constantly ringing?? you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time -- they also break your concentration.

????When you’ve got a big task to focus on?? let your calls go to voicemail. If you have an office door?? close it. If you work in a cubicle?? wear headphones: having them on makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.

????Stay Focused on Your Work

????????????

????You might have heard the saying “procrastination is the thief of time.” When you want more hours in the day?? procrastination can be a real problem. A few minutes chatting?? browsing the web?? updating your Facebook status?? and so on?? can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.

????When you’re working?? work. If your concentration is slipping?? take a proper break: go and get a glass of water?? or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task?? try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to tackle.

????Go Home on Time

?????????

????If you’re supposed to finish work at 4pm?? but you never make it out of the office door until 6pm at the earlier?? then it’s no wonder you don’t have enough hours in the day.

????In some jobs?? it is difficult to get away on time (if all your colleagues work late?? you might feel obliged to do the same). But if you’re staying because you only ever seem to get any work done in a mad dash at the end of the day?? then your working habits need to change.

????Delegate Some Chores

???????????????

????Perhaps you seem to be the only person in your household who’s capable of unstacking the dishwasher or ironing the clothes. If your evenings get taken up with a long list of chores?? see whether you can delegate some of those.

????Your partner?? housemates?? or kids can pitch in and help out. Even if you just free up 20 or 30 minutes every evening?? you’ll have a bit of extra time to spend on something important to you.

????Eat Dinner at Home

?????????

????Although going out for dinner might seem like it saves time (after all?? you don’t have to cook) -- you’ve got the time cost of traveling to the restaurant?? ordering the food?? waiting for it to arrive?? paying the bill ... and it might well be faster just to cook and eat at home.

???????????????????????????(??????????????)--?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Щ??

????If you don’t have much time to cook during the week?? try making extra portions at the weekend so that you can freeze some. That way?? you’ve got an almost-instant meal (and one that’s probably healthier and cheaper than a restaurant meal?? too).

????Limit Your TV Watching

?????????????????

????If you put the TV on as soon as you get in from work?? it’s easy to end up spending hours slumped on the sofa. Instead of watching whatever happens to be showing?? try watching just one or two programs each night.
