In our busy lives, there are different steps we take to save time. First, we use modern inventions to help us do more in less time. For instance, we use a microwave oven to cook a baked potato instead of baking it in the oven. Or we use the self-checkout option at the grocery store rather than waiting for a cashier. We also save time by doing more than one thing at a time. For example, a student may finish writing a paper while eating breakfast. Or we may take a shower and brush out leeth at the same time. Finally. Of course, we may simply rush. We may save time simply by guiping a meal or eunning to catch a bus.
