Time. It's something we all want more of, but it's also something nobody can buy.

It's unfair because it seems like some people actually get more than 24 hours in a day. In reality, we all have the same amount of time to work with. But, is there a way to stretch an hour?

There just might be a way. Efficiency is a great way to buy yourself a little more time. You might not be the most organized person in the world, but that doesn't mean you should suffer by the hands of the clock. Taking it step by step is the best way to increase efficiency -- moderation is the key.

In other words, don't try to change all of your habits at once.

Ahead you will learn how to keep your life organized, not let technology suck your brain time, prepare for what you're going to eat, use the evening to help you keep up and get comfortable with limits.

No. 5: Know where to be

Scheduling used to involve a rotary phone and "penciling" someone in to the timeline of your day. Now, calendars are instant, people can invite you to events and meetings and you can keep everything in one central location.

Pick the program you like to use and stick with it -- you don't need several programs to keep you on schedule, one should work just fine.

If your appointments are organized, you can glance at your day and see exactly what you're in for. (You should also give yourself plenty of time to get to your appointment across town, but let's take this step by step).

Another thing that super organized people use is the classic "to-do" list. This could be on a paper sticky note, a virtual note, a special program or a notebook you carry with you. Just try to keep your list in one spot. You can even add completed items to your list, just to cross them off, if it would make you feel more productive. Ask true "list people" -- they do it all the time.

No. 4: Detach from your email

Looking for a way to waste hours of your life? Get sucked in to Cyber Space. Sure, many of us use the Internet to get our work done, but some of the most productive people have a "technology schedule" they follow.

If your profession allows you to do this, schedule a block of time in the morning and a block in the afternoon to deal with your email. This is easier said than done but it will allow you to step away and get several projects done before you dive back in to putting out fires.

It might even make you feel special to see how much mail you received while you were away.

If email is something you need to be near at all times for your job, then put limits on other technology or Internet uses, such as Facebook. It's used for marketing and for business, but that doesn't mean you need to creep on your college crush's photo page for a half hour while at work.

No. 3: Assert your taste buds

"What do you want to eat?" "I don't know, what do you want to eat?"
