Simple Tips: Save Time
Simplify Your Life : Episode FLSYL-313

If you're tired of being in a rush, try these time saving ideas:

  • Don't waste time getting out the iron for a small job. Run small areas, like a shirt collar, over a warm light bulb to straighten.
  • Sew buttons on with a length of dental floss. It's stronger than thread and you won't have to sew it on again any time soon.
  • Keep an errand basket by your door. Fill it with videos that must be returned, clothes for the dry cleaner and any other out-the-door chores. When you leave the house, take the items with you.
  • To remove lint in a flash from pants or other garments, run them through the dryer with a couple of fabric softener sheets for about five minutes.
  • Don't waste time looking for your car. Place a small tear in your parking ticket stub for each floor level — four small tears if you're on level 4, for example.


Quick Tip: Keep Coffee from Burning
Here's a great way to avoid a ruining your coffee: Place a ring of pennies on the burner of the coffee maker. They'll conduct heat and raise the decanter slightly, which keeps the brew from getting that yucky burnt taste.
