June is known for many things. Like Youth Day and mid-year exams and World Milk Day. (Yes, there really is one.) And in cosmic terms, June is famous in the Southern Hemisphere for being the month with the least daylight hours. In other words… so much to do, so little time. Literally.
In the interest of making things easier and maximising your time, here are some tips to make the best use of those precious daylight hours.
-
Go to bed in your next-day clothes like you did when you were six. That way you won’t waste time in the morning. (At what age does that become socially unacceptable, anyway?)
-
Don’t let kids get dressed in the car to save some leaving-the-house time. You’ll just be adding time to the drop-off, because you’ll open the car door and discover they haven’t even started.
-
If your kids sleep in their next-day clothes (as per Point 1), then ignore Point 2.
-
Since everyone’s discovered your shortcut through the back roads, it’s not much of a shortcut anymore because the traffic is worse now than anywhere else. So stick to the main roads and don’t be tempted to try a new route to “save time”.
-
On that note, do not listen to your GPS. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about - you know in your heart that your way is faster. Also, it’s fun to listen to her trying not to sound frustrated.
-
Don’t waste time typing words. Use only emojis, and if they get misinterpreted, you’ll deal with the consequences later. It’s not your fault the supportive fist bump looks exactly like a punch in the face.
-
Don’t waste time saying too many words either. If people truly know you, they’ll get the point.
-
When watching an episode of any series, be ready to click the “Skip Intro” button as soon as it comes up. Those 45 seconds really add up if you put them all together.
-
Then again, why waste hours watching a series? Reading the Wikipedia summary takes a fraction of the time. Efficiency, pure and simple.
-
When ordering food for delivery, don’t waste time looking through the menu. Just click on “Order Again”. You liked it once, didn’t you?
Follow these tips and you’ll have yourself a streamlined, highly efficient June. Or you’ll have a June that’s somehow stressful and boring at the same time. Frustrating and poorly communicated… all the while wearing crumpled clothes because you slept in them.
But look on the bright side. Think of the things you can do with all the time you’ve saved.
