False Economies: things which don’t save time.

A list of time-saving measures which don’t work, learned from experience:

• Loading the washing machine while brushing your teeth.
• Unloading the washing machine while brushing your teeth.
• Going to the loo while still wearing your rucksack.
• Taking off your leggings and socks in one go.
• Picking bits of fluff off the floor instead of hoovering.
• Walking on the road instead of the pavement pulling luggage.
• Crossing busy roads one lane at a time.
• Drinking, texting or putting on your coat while walking.
• Stuffing receipts into your purse willy nilly – only to block your purse, and break your zip.
• Moving too quickly on the self-scan checkout machines.
• Being pushy in queues. The karma will haunt you.

End conclusions?

• Multi-tasking is a #fail.
• There are no-shortcuts in life. We can only do less. 🙂
