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.
