Systems

Continuing with our theme from yesterday about increasing time, energy and money, I'm going to talk about saving time, energy and money.

Today's topic is about using systems to save time, energy and money. In fact, you can look at the word system as an acronym:

And that's exactly what a system does. For example, SendOutCards is a system that saves you time, energy and money on your greeting card and gifting needs. You save time by not having to get dressed, go to the store, find a card, stand in line and then pay for it. As well as having to fill out the card, find a stamp and take it to the mailbox. You save energy for pretty much the same reasons plus you save energy by not having to drive to and from the store. You save money since cards these days are easily going for $5 or $6 apiece but you can get a fully customized card for $1.98 plus postage from SendOutCards. Or even less if you have a monthly subscription.

There are also time management systems, weight loss systems, exercise systems...there are systems available for almost anything. But the best system is one that you'll use. I wrote about this subject last year also. Check it out to get some ideas of systems and tools you can use to make your life simpler.
