10 GREAT TIMESAVERS, ACCORDING TO GOOD HOUSEKEEPING MAGAZINE

If you're always searching for a pen, stock one in every pocketbook, and put one in your checkbook.
--Store buttons in clear pill dispensers so you can easily spot the one you need.
--Schedule your next haircut before you leave the salon.
--Keep scissors in every room-that way, you won't waste time trying to find them if you have to open a package, cut a tag, or quickly wrap a gift.
--Buy stamps, print labels, and arrange package pickups at usps.com.
--When you find a useful number in the phone book, highlight it so it'll pop out the next time.
--Skip the photo store. Order prints from an online service such as snapfish.com, the top scorer in GH Institute tests.
--Reserve books online instead of driving over to the library to do it in person. (You can renew books online too.)
--Stash lint rollers in lots of places (the laundry room, closets, your car's glove compartment) so you'll be able to zap fuzz and pet hair in seconds.
--Keep note cards, envelopes, and stamps in a zip-top plastic bag in your purse so you can dash off a thank-you note while you're standing in line or waiting in the school parking lot.
--Store your receipts in a designated pocket of your purse or wallet. You'll have the one you need at your fingertips if you decide to make a return.
