4 Time Saving Tips from a guy who spent 13 YEARS drawing a comic! Watch this if you struggle with perfectionism!
A great time-saving tip those running around in circles: "If you are only a yard from the tree, it takes less time to run around it."
Source details and larger version.
From spooky trees to giant trees to that tree that fell in the forest that no one heard: vintage tree imagery.
What can be reused and what can be disposed of? Cells also face this tricky task. Researchers from the Biozentrum of the University of Basel have now discovered a cellular machine, called FERARI, that sorts out usable proteins for recycling. In Nature Cell Biology, they explain how FERARI works and why it is so special.
“(…) has now discovered that FERARI is a key player in this process. FERARI distributes the recyclable molecules, mainly transport proteins and receptors, and reintroduces them into the cellular cycle. In this way, valuable cell components do not have to be constantly produced anew, which not only saves energy but also time.”
Saving is not enough (unfortunately)
My Dear Blog,
So, you save a lot of your time by doing intelligent things. At one point, I was working from home and saved 1 hr of traffic time. You might be saving 5 mins of your time asking Alexa to order your toothpaste.
There are entire industries built on just saving your time. But why do you do with that saved time is a big question -
Overthinking and sulking about a difficult task you need to do - Bad
Catching up on your social media - ok, ok
Watching your favorite TV show - Good
But binge-watching the show and eating the whole bag of potato chips - somewhere between OK-OK and Bad
Contributing to a cause and rejoicing you just made some difference - Excellent
Anything else - anywhere from awful to excellent
You get the idea. Saving time is only part of the equation. You can be worse off by choosing what to do instead.
The same is true about money savings (or earned). But that is for some other day.

Tips that make my study better
#1 Don’t plan too much. Set a time and an impulse. The moment I already know what i have to do today, I set a time and start doing just anything.
I used to spent so much time planning what to study, how to study, where to begin, that didn’t actually done meaningful study, at best I would get super organised about what I should have done. So what a terrible method. Because of that, I started listing in my mind during the course of the day, so I could minimize the time I spend thinking what’s the next thing I should do when I get home.
That works a little better, I go home and grab the first thing in the list, for example differential equations. But still gets me some time thinking “soo... i should start here, and then do that and that. Let me take some notes first...”
What really makes me do something, is actually doing something. I know, that definitely sounds redundant, but it isn’t. I go straight foward to exercises and little by little filling the gaps, even if I’m totally lost and don’t know where to begin, just look for a already solved exercise. Helps if I start doing some of the easy ones, just to get in the rhythm and put and end to procastination.
Doing only these 2 things save me so much time and helps with my procastination. First I only have to put in mind my subject priorities, and then schedule a time. As soon as that time come, don’t think. Open that book and do any exercise about that subject, so as you go deeper in that study session you automatically will flow to the important points that have to be studied even if its the first study session about that subject.
The most important thing is to start, and so is the most difficult to me, but as I program my mind to instantly start without thinking, everything flows. A time and an impulse.
