What could you do with tons more free time in your day?

Think about it, you could cross everything off of your to-do list instead of watching it grow larger and larger.

You could work on your small business, or start one.

You could enjoy your hobby.

You literally could do whatever you want if you just follow a couple of steps to free up some free time.

First thing you are going to want to do is get rid of anything that wastes your time.

For most people this is television.

The average American spends 5 hours a day watching TV, which is a lot of time wasted. It adds up to about 6 full days a month. Think about what you could do with all that wasted time. Even if you cut down to an hour of TV a day you are saving tons of time. Instead of watching TV at night, get some work done.

You can cut back on possessions to save more time.

If you have a big house with lots of things, it takes time to clean them all. It takes my mom about 3 hours to vacuum and dust my house. If we had less things she could clean the house in less time and save a bunch.

Instead of making several trip to do errands, try to get them done all in one.

First of all, you are wasting tons of money on gas by spending it all on a bunch of different trips, so this tip saves you both time and money.

Keep track of what you do in a journal.

This is a really good way to find out how you use your time. Now just eliminate everything that you think wastes time. This is probably my favorite tip and I personally do this. That way I know how to better spend my time the next day.

Try as hard as you can not to go on the internet.

Just checking your email can waste tons of time. I refrain to checking my email only once per day. That way I can answer all my emails at one time instead of checking every twenty minutes and getting distracted.

Facebook is also something that wastes tons of people’s time. It can be hard to give up, but if you stop mindlessly surfing the internet you never know how much free time you will have on your hands.

Do all of your chores at night instead of on the weekend

If you spend a half hour everyday doing all your household chores you can save hours for relaxing and having fun on the weekend. Weekends should be relaxing and you should not be busting your butt off.

Just by doing these simple things you can save hours of your time that you can put into something else that you really want to do. Do you really need to watch 5 TV shows a day? Probably not. Time is valuable and life is short, don’t waste it.
