M: And this morning on Today’s How-To: saving time, work, family, errands, chores, but how about having some fun once in a while? Well, (1) Good Housekeeping magazine has some advice on how you can stop wasting time and get it all done. And here with several top tips is Carolyn Forte. Good morning!
W: Good morning. Nice to be here!
M: (2) You know, a lot of us spend time looking for things in the morning. It’s the glasses; it’s the keys; and you never know when it comes out the next time.
W: Yeah, I have those similar experiences.
M: What are the biggest mistakes we made when it comes to that?
W: And to speak to what you’re saying, (3-1) I think the best way to handle it is being organized. When you’re disorganized, you don’t know where things are, you’re searching from drawers, through closets, trying to find the thing that didn’t go back where it belongs. (3-2) So if you can stay your belongings organized, you can really save some time.
M: All right. Let’s start saving time right this minute. OK?
W: OK.
M: (4-1) Your No. 1 tip here is to bank online. Now some people are afraid to do it, but you say, it’s something smart.
W: Yeah, it is very safe. And we certainly recommend that you use your own bank’s website. So go to the bank, talk to the customer service representatives there. If you have some questions about how to do it, how safe it is, it’s the best way to find out how safe it is.
M: And how much time do you think you saved, Carolyn, by doing that?
W: You know, (5) if you can write in a lot of checks, if you’re making transfers, checking your statements, you can save 30 minutes, even up to an hour.
M: Surely it’s a big amount of time. (4-2) Then the second tip is online grocers. Now, that’s really not common for everyone, but you actually go grocery shopping online.
W: That’s exactly what you should do. And of course, if you are the type of person that wants to read every label and look at every piece of fruit, it’s probably not suitable for you. But, you know, if you want to give up a little control, you can definitely save some time.
