Listen to the show and find out some time saving tips and some 2012 trends.

Since it’s the beginning of the year and all I thought it would be good to share some time saving tips with you.

When starting the day make a list of all the things you need to do for that day.
On that list choose 2 productive tasks, this could be writing a blog, or working on your website, this is not checking email by the way, focus on 2 tasks that will take you a step closer to your goal.
Spend roughly 1 hour a day in the morning dealing with emails. Don’t look at your inbox again until the end of the day.
Spend another 30 to 45 minutes in social networking spaces and network.

Now there are other things you can do to help you save time.

Online Shopping

If you have the advantage of shopping online, do it! Shop and pay your bills online. Why spend time getting in your car, sitting in traffic driving to the store, then look for parking and stand in queues when you can go online and have it delivered to your door.
Delays and Queues

Always carry a book, an Ipod, or your Tablet with you for these moments

This is the perfect time to catch up on reading, catch up on telephone calls or catch up on social networking. Instead of complaining the queue is too long, or the train is late, take out your book, your audio, or your tablet and be productive.

Public Transport

While public transport has its issues and we all get frustrated, on the upside, if you can travel via public transport I recommend it because it’s a good time to catch up on reading, listen to that audio or have a catnap.
