One thing is for sure, multitasking and texting are a bad match. How many times have we seen texting and walking, driving, swimming, or changing a diaper end up badly?
There are tons of productive pairings that save precious seconds in life’s ticking time torch, and Renegade Reporting's Everyday Engineering is here to bring you DIY solutions to life's little problems. Stephen Seidel brings you technology and entertainment all in one, tech-tainment at its finest.
When you're in the shower waiting for Head and Shoulders to season
your scalp back to the vitality of a teenager, grab a toothbrush to grind those pearly whites. Or grab yourself a razor to shave any stray hairs, and clean everything in a matter of minutes.
Breakfast provides an opportunity for optimization, whether
dumping everything in a blender for a smorgasbord shake, or choosing cereal
over poached eggs. If choosing cereal, try mixing your Cinnamon Toast
Crunch with Orange Juice instead of champagne on Sundays for a magical mimosa toast
crunch. Mixing oatmeal and Coffee-mate creamer make a hazelnut haven for anyone in a hurry, or without milk. I dare you to try it, you might be surprised.
Many products also do the job of multitasking FOR you. A keyboard plugin
turns your ipad into a typewriter, phone, and videogame all in one. All-in-one bottles of Shampoo/conditioner/bodywash and SPF/moisturizer/make-up combinations are perfect for ladies AND dudes wearing guy-liner.
There are several additional ways to cut your time in half, such as pre-planning,
making lists, and organizing. More examples of time savers are: iron everything for the week at once, plan meals before shopping, cook all chicken and meats for easy
reheating, pre-cut fruits and veggies into containers for grab and
go. For the ultimate mobile snack, I highly suggest gogurt. How else can
you quickly down yogurt without a spoon, and escape your begging dog in your kitchen?
Other innovative ideas that are fun: washing your
hair during a carwash, memorizing a language while sleeping via audio books, separating
your grass stained whites from your regular clothes for bleaching, practicing handstands while mopping the floor, doing yoga during a
roommate debate, and many more!
