Discover the 17 Ways To Save Time, Money and Energy (2024)

Save time, money, energy. These are all what everyone wants to accomplish. Perhaps you would like to achieve all three. The following are suggestions on how you can make your life easier by getting more done in less time, by spending less, or with less energy!

1. Create a daily to-do list. When you know what you need to do, you will get it done faster. A great trick is to write down the three most important items of the day. Once those are complete, you can continue onto other, less pressing tasks.

2. Ask for help. There no need for you to do all the household chores alone! Seek assistance from other members of your family. If you live alone, hiring out the housekeeping or landscaping can free up your time for other important tasks.

3. Eat at home. Cooking at home will not only save money versus stopping to grab fast food, it will also save you time. No longer will you have to wait in a busy drive-thru or wait for your party to be called in a restaurant. Plus, eating healthier will boost your energy.

4. Brew your own coffee. Again, another time and money saver. You won’t have to stop through Starbucks or the local gas station on your morning commute. Make your coffee as you get ready, fill your favorite insulated travel mug, and off you go.

5. Coupon wisely. When you have a tiny piece of paper that saves you money, you may be driven to go to the store just to use it. However, if it’s not something you normally buy, skip it! It’s important that your couponing efforts be used only for your regular purchases to save time and money.

6. Start a carpool with other moms. Rather than dropping your children off or picking them up every single day, save time by organizing a carpool. If you get four other moms in, you will only have to drive out to the school one day a week!

9. Take your lunch. Packing a lunch for work prevents you from wasting time grabbing a quick meal out somewhere. Plus, it’s much cheaper to make your own lunches. You could create lunches for 3-4 days with the money you’d spend on one meal at a restaurant.

10. Consolidate your errands. When you need to run into town for shopping, to pay bills, or pick up the kids, do it all at once. This reduces the amount of time you spend out driving. It also decreases the amount of gas you need for your vehicle each week.

13. Set phone alerts and reminders. Since most people have a smart phone, it’s easy to remind yourself or important appointments or tasks. Set an alarm on your phone to get the laundry out of the dryer, so you aren’t wasting time and energy tumbling them 2-3 times before you finally remember to fold them.

16. Turn off app notifications. Though most mobile apps are helpful, that constant ding or message can have you spend too much time on your phone. Turn off notifications for Facebook and other social media. That way, you can focus on what you need to get done.

17. Set up automatic payments. Your bank likely offers a bill pay feature that will help you set up payments to automatically be drafted each month. This saves you the hassle of having to mail a check or go by an office to pay a bill. Plus, it will prevent any late fees or missed payments, which would cost you even more!
