Don’t waste a moment. Make each action accomplish more than one thing. Play a game with yourself. See how many projects you can complete in the shortest time possible. Challenge yourself to figure out more and more ways of becoming efficient.

See how long it takes you to do things with this thought in mind. You can easily determine if you are wasting time in your life by becoming more aware of how long it takes you to do everyday things. While you are brushing your teeth, think about what you are going to get done today. As you drive to work, picture yourself completing your first task. Don’t wait around for the coffee to drip at the coffee machine. Wait until it’s already made and go back. On your way to and from the machine, drop off memos or communicate a message to a co-worker.

Don’t hurry. There’s no need to rush through things. Work smarter, not harder. Just be aware of what you’re doing. See if you feel like you accomplished more today in a shorter amount of time. Think about incorporating some of the techniques you employed today into your everyday routine.
