I always use a sharp kitchen knife to spread butter, simply because I can’t be bothered to go and get a table knife from the drawer.
What else?
Um… going out to get the mail in sub-zero conditions barefoot because I can’t be bothered to lace up my boots.
Constantly using keyboard shortcuts on this computer because it would take up too much time to replace the non-responsive mouse.
I am a very lazy human being.
How about you?
I can’t stand the idea of sitting still to brush and floss my teeth. I’ve gotta watch TV, read a comic, talk to somebody, or check out the SDMB while I pursue oral hygene. If I don’t, I feel like I’m squandering my life away by just brushing in front of the mirror.
I shave and brush my teeth in the shower. I keep my razor, toothbrush & toothpaste in a big fountain-drink cup on the windowsill in the shower.
When I clean the bathroom, I take all the stuff off the counter, the toilet paper, and the books off the top of the toilet & put them in a bucket. Then I use a solution of bleach & water to wet down the counter, sink and toilet. I sprinkle cleanser all over, then I take a stiff-bristled brush & clean both the counter, sink and toilet. and afater cleaning the toilet bowl, I pour some more bleach into it & use it for a mop bucket.
Ummmm…jackAss, you do know that you shouldn’t mix cleaning chemicals, right? I mean, they can easuly make toxic chlorine gas if that cleaning chemical is ammonia based. Not to mention thousands of other potential chemical reactions that can occur. I say stick to plain water in the future, safer taht way.
I’ll do just about anything to save a few seconds here and there. When I get in the car I put it into drive and start moving before putting my seatbelt on. I figure I can do this while driving before I get out onto a major street. Likewise, I will unbuckle my seatbelt before I have stopped the car and parked it.
I’ve been known to walk out to get the newspaper barefoot even in snow.
I also use several keyboard shortcuts.
I comb my hair on my way to work and use the rearview mirror. I can always count on a red light or two along the way to allow me to do this.
In the shower I brush my teeth. I also tried shaving in the shower, but I have to see what I am doing. I am very nearsighted and a mirror does me no good without my glasses.
If I am writing emails to several different people and have to tell them the same thing I’ll copy and paste from a previous message. I’ll change things around a bit in each message to suit the person in particular I am writing to. I like to do this instead of send a mass email to several people (I tend to regard such emails as less personal).
If I have to write something that only I intend to read I don’t take the time to neatly form each letter. Instead I will write it as quickly as I can, disregarding legibility beyond what I can barely decipher myself.
I guess speeding could count as a stupid thing I do to save time, knowing that I risk getting a ticket.
I never leave the house, therefore I never have to take shortcuts home to save time - allowing me apple time to do everything
The word was not apple but AMPLE, for some readon I cannot edit my own postings…which makes me believe I have to waste time re-posting to fiz my mistakes rather that just editing what I already have…already I have wasted 10 seconds…
screw this…I can’t spell
readon=reason
fiz=fix
Editing has been disabled here.
Make use of the preview function-- it’ll save time. 
To save time, I never edit my pots.
to save time, I’ll just post a “me too”
If my car has more than a quarter of gas in it, I keep putting off filling it, because it bores me standing there. This has lead to several panic situations where I wasn’t sure if I had enough gas to make it to the next station.
I do the classic stupid thing where I will drive 10 miles out of my way just to avoid “wasting time” sitting in traffic.
My rational, logical brain says “TVGuy, you won’t save any time - in fact, it could take longer to get there.”
But my irrational internal 12-year-old whines, “Yeah, but I don’t like sitting in traaaaaafic!”
Otherwise, I’m highly inefficient. I waste time like it grows on trees.
Magayuk I do the same thing, then freak out when I’m running on fumes!
I also break down a bag of dog food into individual bags, so in the morning I can just grab a bag instead of measuring it out…God forbid if the dog got too much or too little!
So much of my actions are more rituals than time savers. I’m flakey that way 
All our socks go in the drawer unfolded. Life is too short to fold or ball socks.
Socks in a drawer? Mine hang over a rack until I go to wear them. Underwear hangs on the edge of the laundry basket.
Amateurs.
Mine sit in the clean clothes pile in the basement until I am ready to wear them. Afterwards they move to the dirty clothes pile, which is slightly to the left.
I sleep on the floor. Never have to make a bed.
I never do laundry. I just buy new clothes every week.
I use the bathroom in the shower. (The big pieces I have to mash down the drain with my heel.)
I never put “hi Opal!” in the 3rd position of a list.
I eat Spaggetios only. Easier on the teeth, and makes point #3 easier to do.
CTRL-N.
Gotta love CTRL-N, multitasking has probably saved me (literally) years of surfing time.
NoClueBoy… ugh. I really, really wish you hadn’t said that.
I brush my teeth in the shower, but it’s not the same thing.
Found myself trying to manouvre my [non-responsive] mouse round the Dope with one hand and do my hair with the other hand this morning.
Oh, yes… I use square brackets because I can’t be bothered to press Shift!
