19. Don't Read This

I think this article on how to save time is mainly intended for women, but it showed up on the top page on Yahoo! and I read it so I guess I'll comment.

4. Keep scissors in every room so you won't waste time trying to find them if you have to open a package, cut a tag, or wrap a gift.
Uh, okay, while I'm at it, why don't I keep a computer, TV, stereo, printer, refrigerator, utensils, microwave, phone, toilet, and bed in every room so I don't waste time walking over to them? Alternatively, you could have a designated place for your scissors. Maybe they wouldn't get lost if you always kept them in the bathroom or something.

6. When you find a useful number in the phone book, highlight it so it pops out the next time.
People don't use phone books. But if you're 85 and you do, you should keep one in every room so you don't waste time looking for it.

9. Stash lint rollers in lots of places (the laundry room, closets, your car's glove compartment) so you can zap fuzz and pet hair in seconds.
Again, one for every space you occupy.

10. 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 standing in line at the supermarket or waiting in the school parking lot.
That doesn't seem very sincere... And believe me, if you write while standing in line at the grocery store, people will look at you funny and the writing will be semi-illegible.

16. Wear a cordless headset when you're on the phone so you can multitask.
By multitask they mean "talk on the phone and look silly at the same time."
