A launch pad saves you 5 hours a week
September 30, 2008
That’s a picture of my handbag on my launch pad.
A launch pad enables you to hit the ground running every day.
In the office
Your launch pad is writing down your high priority items on your eat the frog form so you start off your day on the right note.
You can save TONS of time if you don’t have to think about your priorities every morning.
How much time could you save if you immediately started each day on the most important tasks?
In the home
It’s keeping all your stuff in one place so you don’t run around looking for your keys, wallet, bag, etc. On the day the picture above was taken, that was all I needed. There’s a keyholder on that same wall – one hook for my house and car keys, one for my husband’s and one for household stuff (keys to the pool, etc.)
Every evening I leave my handbag and keys in a central place so that in the mornings all I do is grab and go. Once I leave the bedroom, I walk to the fridge to get my lunch, set the alarm, grab my stuff from my launch pad and I’m out of there. That’s two minutes tops!
Time saved using both launch pads every week: 5 hours
