What do you feel like sucks most of your time that you could stop?

I really want to work on decluttering my craft room, but I find myself wasting time watching decluttering videos. Crazy. Great video. 😊

My life changed for better when I stopped filling the gaps. I need that time to be bored and do absolutely nothing.

As for the commute: I have 20 min each way, I really enjoy my view, listening to audio books, and this time can be a fantastic decompression time before you're with your family. There is positive to this time of driving. // Working from home, there is a very good chance you have a difficult time disconnecting from your work and there's zero time to decompress and switch gears from work to family.

I switched to showering to just once a month and man, have I ever saved a ton of time. Not only bathing time, nobody wants to spend time with me and that’s even more time saved. I always have the seat on the bus next to me vacant, so no annoying conversations with strangers so more time to read. This has been a revolutionary change.

The commute conversation is interesting. I consider driving to be wasted time, for the most part, but if I have the ability to take public transit I gain back the ability to multitask on my commute - let someone else do the driving while I read, craft, or otherwise enjoy some time disconnecting from home and work concerns for a little while. It may take a little longer, but I feel like I was able to do something with that time instead of having to sit there and drive.

Another thing that helps to save time (especially with a young family) is basically to be proactive with everything you need to buy. Continuously writing down everything you need for the kids/the house/the car and so on onto separate lists for EACH STORE and only going to buy them when something urgent comes up and then you buy the non-urgent stuff on that list at the same time. This also saves time for things you buy online, batching the times you order/unpack and so on.

Love the "sleep less" rule. Working on a solid routine around my sleep is definitely what I need to work on right now.

Also having consistent go-to-bed times are a HUGE win.

Love how straight to the point your videos are. Thanks for another!

[traciewade]

Excellent points. I get sucked into news feeds sometimes and it's definitely a rabbit hole. Informative video, Gabe. Thanks!

[melissalee]

I totally agree with grocery delivery. After a long day teaching 8 year olds, I want some peace and quiet and time to run. I work at a small, private, year-round school. The pay stinks, but I love having the extra time off during the year. I also have a 3 minute commute or 5 min when it snows. Your ideas are GREAT!

[SheriMorris-]

I agree with a lot of this, however, I drive 30 min to work, there is not a job closer to me that that will pay the bills and I spend 15 minutes every Saturday, vacuuming my vehicle it never gets messy enough that I have to have someone else clean it for me and it gives me satisfaction doing it myself.

Brilliant as always 💚 time is truly the most important thing..

I found this tip in a book written by Mariel Hemingway (recommended to her by a Therapist). For the first 20 minutes after you wake up, no devices (phone/tv/radio/computer). Allow your mind and body to settle into a new day. It really works wonders....

[christweeptoo]

Your videos help keep me focused on what matters, both lifestyle wise and financially. I thank you as a fellow New Hampshirite and Christian, you're truly an inspiration.

[conniechuha]

Now this is taking it to the next level. Thanks for giving me something to think about.

Great video. Very helpful points for me especially to fill the gaps. You inspire me Gabe.
