Time Savers

In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, I often find myself crashing into bed at the end of the day wondering where my day went. It's filled with working, shopping, wrapping, cleaning and packing. In the all the hurried-ness it's often hard to find any time to spare. The folks at 5min.com understand how busy our lives are and they have come to the rescue. With 5 minute long videos, you can learn anything from how to go green for the holidays, how to apply your makeup for the Christmas party, or how to cook the perfect Christmas dinner.

I love to read, but often it's hard to find the time to do it. DailyLit.com is a great solution. They email you short, customized installments of the book of your choice (they have over 800 titles to choose from). This means you can read it at your desk when you check your email, on your iphone as you ride the bus in to work, or pretty much whenever or where ever you want because it only takes a few moments of your time.
