Ways to save time
We all wish we had just a bit more time．Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on．
1. But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter．
1．Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7; 30 a．m．try getting up at 7:00 a．m．That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish．2.
2．Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first （not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones）．You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones．
3. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones．
3．Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter．Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration．
When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail．4. Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation．
4． 5.
A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day．
When you're working, work．If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit．And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with．
A．Stay Focused on Your Work
B．Take Breaks When Necessary
C．If you have an office door, close it．
D．If you work like this, you'll usually save time．
E．Would you want me to make your day longer?
F．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long．
G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start．

A． Slow Down Your Life
B． Escape Now and Then
C． Separate Your Actions
D． Allow Yourself to Be Weak
E． Relieve Pressure by Firmly Saying “ No”
F． Stop Expecting Everything to Be Perfect
How to Simplify Your Life
Less is more．This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up, relax instead of stressing, slow down instead of speeding up．Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way．You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification．
1．___ _______．
When you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had．Just imagine: you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards．If you keep grabbing one and then the other, it will take forever, because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off．But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back and get the other one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, then you can be sure of success．
2．__________．
The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations．In the modern nuclear family, the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner．
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do, then it’s not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities．A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget．The solution is equally simple: refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life．
3． ______．
“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work．People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with — until one day they break．
Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can cope with．These signals came from various areas of life．You become ill, or your work efficiency decreases．
If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress．Say quite openly, "I can't manage that．"
4． _____．
"If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, cleverer, then I would be happier．" This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill, depressed, and unhappy．Life has its flaws, defects, comets, and edges．Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life．
Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous; driving a car, crossing the road．But life doesn't consist entirely of these things．In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes．
5．___________．
Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work．Find out which places improve your creativity．For me it's the train．When I know that I'm going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door, I find my mind is free and I can read or write complex articles．There can be problems working on the train, of course: if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away, or if train trips make you tired (some people fall asleep after a few miles)．

I’m Harley Hill．I was chosen as a postman of the year 1975．I have been a postman for 23 years．I love my work very much and it’s a fine life for me．Every week I work forty hours．I work from six o’clock in the morning to about two o’clock in the afternoon．The worst thing is being late in the morning．We handle 50 000 to 60 000 items a day．I deliver to probably 278 addresses．Some of them are from abroad．
