21 Ways To Add More Hours To Your Day
The first step to reclaiming more time from your day is to get hold of the big chunks that aren’t being put to good use.
“Good use” is a fairly subjective term here, but it could mean both work that doesn’t get much done or leisure time that isn’t enjoyable.
Here are some places to start looking:
- Television - This is a good starting point if you need more time.
- Internet - Quickly replacing television as a huge time consumer is the internet.
- Games - A friend once told me that World of Warcraft was electronic crack.
- E-mail - It’s easy to get lured into checking your inbox, just one more time.
- Work - Cutting time from work isn’t easy.
- Chores - Beyond just hiring a maid, there are ways you can reduce time from your chores.
- Schoolwork - For students, the classroom offers a lot of opportunities to save time without ruining your GPA.
For steps two and three, go here.

Gosh, if I stop using the Internet and emailing, I will have about 18 more hours available per day! haha

A trick is to have email notifiers so you do not have to keep checking. Or you could set yourself a limit. Lets say the maximum of 2 times a day.

LOL! I’d love to see what kind of “chunks” of time those folks have at LifeHack away from the computer.

Email is without the 2nd most invasive time sucking beast in my life. If I turn it off I can get loads more work done….but then I have to deal with the thing that sucks away most of my time…Reading BLOGS!

Email is definately a time sink hole most days. I’ve found that if you schedule emails times it helps. Only check your email at 9, Noon, and 3pm for example for a 20 minute time period. That way you’re forced to focus to the important material and not get hung up on killing space invaders.
