Everyday Lifehacks That Save Time You Didn't Realize You Were Losing

Handle things once

Touch each task or message a single time where you can. Opening an email, deciding to deal with it later, and reopening it three more times means you read it four times to act once. If it takes under two minutes, just do it now.

Give frequently lost items a permanent home, a hook for keys, a tray for your wallet, a spot for the charger. The few seconds it takes to put something back saves the frantic five-minute search that otherwise happens at the worst possible moment.

Lay out what you need the night before, clothes, bag, lunch. Decisions are easier and faster when you are calm in the evening than when you are rushed in the morning.
