WORKADAY TIP #129: Repair Cuticles In Traffic

I just read this tip in my June Shape magazine and think it's a good one.

Keep cuticle oil in your glove compartment.  You can apply while you are stuck in traffic.  This way you can have beautiful nails and control road rage!   Plus, it's a great time saver.

WORKADAY TIP #128: Blogging!

Why did you start blogging?

TypePad just luanched a cool new QOTD (Question of the Day) feature that provides daily inspiration for bloggers.  This question reminded me of my very first tip which was to start a blog! 

Here is how starting a blog saves me time and connects me to those I care about.  You should try it too!

WORKADAY TIP #127: The "Burrito" Roll

Matt taught me this little trick and I gotta say, it's really slick.

The Burrito Roll is a really efficient and effective way to pack raincoats and outdoor shells.  When you've got limited space, the burrito roll is a great way to save some space! 

You can see a great video of how to do the "burrito roll" at Sierra Journal

WORKADAY TIP #126: Delegate Responsibilities

This is a tough one for me.  One of the best time savers is getting comfortable with letting others do some of the heavy lifting. 

I have lived by "if you want it done right, do it yourself" for much of my life.  The problem with this idea is that:

a) Sometimes others actually know how to do it better than you 

b) Just because it's done differently, doesn't mean it isn't being done right

So I have been trying very hard to let go a little and allow others (personally and professionally) to take on some of the work and day-to-day responsibilities. 

So give it a shot! You'll be amazed at how much time you save and how liberating it can be to let some of the chaos go!
