We respect your time.

This newsletter will take

4.50 minutes to read.

Moisturize your skin...face, elbows, knees, etc. It's easy to forget to do. Most moisturizers work best when applied to damp skin, rather than dry skin. This helps to seal the hydration in.

5 Time and Energy Wasters

I was eating lunch at Panera's the other day, and I noticed a teenager pick up her food and bring it back to her table.

Then she got up again to grab a napkin and brought it back to her table.

Then she got up yet again to fill her water and bring it back to her table.

Then, she realized she forgot to grab a straw...and once again, got up, and brought it back to her table.

One of her four friends emphatically asked, "Are you actually going to sit down and eat or do you need to get up again?" All of the girls laughed and that was the end of that.

It was funny, but it made me think of things that many folks do that are probably not the best use of their time and energy. Here are five:

Blow drying your hair while it's soaking wet. It takes way too long to do this, plus it's very damaging to your hair. Wash your hair when you have time to allow it to air dry. Then, blow dry it when it's 65% dry. I wash my hair after dinner, blow dry and style it before bed, and then quickly brush it out in the morning.

Folding clothes out of the dryer that are going to be hung in a closet. Just bring those items to the bedroom closet and hang them. No folding necessary.

Not putting things away when you're done using them. Doing this usually results in having to search for whatever it is. When you're not using something, take the few seconds to put it back in its proper home so you can find it quickly and easily when you need it again.

Driving or shopping when everybody else is doing so. Sometimes this can't be avoided, but most of the time it can. I would much rather leave before rush hour and get to my destination in a relaxed manner, than sit in traffic with frustrated drivers and honking horns. When it comes to shopping in grocery stores, malls, the post office, and so on, there are always days and times that are not crowd-heavy.

Solving the same problems over and over again. Once you figure out how to do something, whether it's programming your DVR, navigating a new computer program, using your glue gun, or changing the bag in your vacuum, write down (or video record) those steps. Next time you have to do it, you won't have to figure it out all over again.
