What are some things(or ways) that you use to save time or get things done efficiently? Especially things that would be useful for many and are currently less popular. (lemmy.sdf.org)

I have recently started using RSS feeds to get news and other information. It is quite time-saving.
Recently found out that word could open pdfs for edits. Used to upload pdfs to websites to get it converted into some editable format. I think Libreoffice can do the same.
Got that spinning type of mop and mopping has become a bit easier.

Know what you want to buy before going into a store, stick to your guns. Unless you want to dilly dally, it saves time.

Organize your stuff, makes finding things much faster. Adam Savage had a good tip: Befor you put something away, pretend you’re looking for it and put it where your first thought was. Next time you look for it, it’s in a natural spot for you.

I've often fantasized about a clothing store where you give them your measurements beforehand, and just walk in and yell, "ONE PAIR OF PANTS, TWO SHIRTS!!" and they run and get it for you and get you out of there in under 10 seconds like a formula 1 pit stop
