Add an hour to your day

Never enough time in the day to get things done? It is truly possible to add time, if you cut out four daily time wasters:

• Dozing off — Most people hit the snooze button three times. Plug in your alarm clock across the room so you're not tempted to sneak in extra shuteye.

Time saved: 21 minutes

• Rooting through cosmetics — Group morning and evening cosmetics in separate clear bags. Now, when you want your neutral-colored lipstick, not your saucy-red evening shade, you'll know just where it is.

Time saved: 10 minutes

• Getting caught in the Web — Minutes can turn into hours when you're Googling. Set a timer, and when it goes off, that's it.

Time saved: 40 minutes

• Opening mail — Speed up the process with a letter opener and don't even bother with junk mail. Toss it straight into the recycling bin or shredder.

Time saved: 6 minutes

Total time saved: 1 hour and 17 minutes!
