Is your startup slowly killing you? Are you constantly short of time? Here are three simple ways to save yourself hours every day…

Don’t Type — Dictate! These days, I’m writing every blog post with Wispr Flow. This awesome dictation software has massively increased my productivity and it can increase yours too.

I went from 80 words per minute typing to 100 speaking. That means my efficiency is up 25%. I’m saving at least half an hour every day.

Think of how much typing you do as a founder. Email, Slack messages, you name it!

Trader Joe’s Frozen Meals. In between dictating emails, you’ve got to eat, right? The frozen meals from Trader Joe’s are one of the most efficient and tastiest ways to do so.

You probably don’t have time to cook. DoorDashing is expensive, time-consuming, and often unhealthy.

Why not fill your freezer with delicious frozen meals from Trader Joe’s? 

I’ve eaten just about every frozen food on the market, and theirs are by far the best. I particularly like the Alsatian tart. 

Instead of waiting 45 minutes for DoorDash, you can be eating in 5 minutes.

Get an Exercise Bike. I don’t care how busy you are; you still need to exercise. The most successful founders I’ve worked with make it a priority.

But going to and from the gym is time-consuming. Why not bring the gym to you?

A couple of years ago, I bought an exercise bike.  It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

Weather bad? Short on time? Not a valid excuse anymore! 

Exercise bikes don’t have to be expensive. You can pick up a decent one on Amazon for less than $150. And if even that is too expensive, how about a little YouTube yoga for free?

Wrap-Up

If you want to save time, look at the things you do every day. Then, try to make them more efficient. 

Typing, eating, and exercising are three such things. You can make each one easier and more pleasant with a little effort.

If you put all these tips together, you could save a couple of hours per day. Imagine what that could do for your startup!
