Daily Resolution: Step Out of Line

There are frequently jaw-dropping statistics on the news and on websites about how much time the average person spends on seemingly innocuous and unproductive activities over the course of a lifetime. One that stands out is how people spend approximately 5 years of their life standing in lines! And even though people have become more skilled at multi-tasking during times like this, sometimes there just is not much else one can do but stand and wait. Today, think about ways to avoid standing in lines in the course of your weekly activities. Change your routines to do things on a different schedule. Get up and do your grocery shopping at 7am on a Sunday morning (the roads will be clear too!). Do more general shopping online. Make yourself a coffee at home instead of queuing up at the local Quick-Stop at 8am when everyone else is there too.
