My husband JR always reminds me about the importance of being better, faster and easier at every possible task. It’s about quality, not quantity. You want to work smarter, not harder. As women, we are expected to be able to do it all and have multiple plates in the air at any given time – even the smallest of helpful shortcuts can be of use to us! Helpful shortcuts that make you a more efficient and productive individual will be beneficial in both your professional career and personal life. The right type of helpful shortcuts can make you produce better work in a shorter amount of time, which makes life that much easier on you. Here are my top five helpful shortcuts for a better, faster, and easier life:
1. Running errands? Plan a route before heading out the door so that you don’t waste time covering your tracks.
2. Always searching for important papers? File folders and a cabinet are your friend. Organize so that it takes you one minute, not one hour, to find what you need.
3. Have plans for after work? Wear something that can go from day to night with a simple switch of accessories.
4. Need to brush up on your current events? Join Twitter! It’s my favorite for real time updates.
5. Shopping online for my groceries is the ultimate helpful shortcut. I wouldn’t have the time to work the way I do without shopping online at alice.com. No crowds, no lines, and no parking! Plus a sweet discount and free shipping. No brainer!
