M: I always feel like I need more hours from the day. Work, family...
W: I understand. Every morning I spend time looking for glasses, keys, or the other shoe.
M: Yeah, the other shoe! I’ve been there. But what’s our mistake?
W: I think it’s being disorganized. When you’re disorganized, you don’t know where things are. If you can stay organized, you can really save some time.
M: All right. Let’s start saving time from this very minute.
W: Bank online?
M: Yes. Some people are afraid to do it but it’s something smart and safe. You can talk to the service representatives about how to do it and how safe it is. Just think about writing checks, making transfers, checking statements.., you can save about 30 minutes, or even up to an hour. I’ve actually saved a lot of time.
W: And for library people, make a list and go online first before you actually make the trip to the library.
M: Exactly right. Reserve books online rather than go there to find the library doesn’t have the book you want. You can put it in order and they will call you and let you know when it’s in and then you go to get it.
W: That’s brilliant. Now people who are always looking for the same phone number?
M: Highlight it in a bright color.
W: Ok. My weakness is my purse. It is the horrible bottomless pit. I don’t even know what’s in there.
M: Keep a pen in every purse and a zip-locked bag of note cards, so when you are waiting in line or for an appointment, you could write down notes quickly. Keep a separate pouch inside for your receipts.
