1 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning, 2 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's 3 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: tip is to decide on a process and stick to 4 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: it and enjoy bonus time from the decisions you don't 5 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: have to make in the future. In a recent episode 6 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: of my other podcast, Best of Both Worlds, my co 7 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: host Sarah hart Hunger mentioned that she uses Amazon's Subscribe 8 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: and Save feature for a lot of household goods. For 9 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: items you need to replenish frequently, If you subscribe and save, 10 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: Amazon sends you a batch at a cadence you choose. 11 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: Lots of people use this for diapers or sunscreen, printer, 12 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: ink shampoo. The upside is that you don't have to 13 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: keep placing orders, and since Amazon likes the guaranteed business, 14 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: the company gives you a discount. But this is not 15 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: a podcast about Amazon or saving money, so you may 16 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: be wondering where a subscribe and save fits in. Well, 17 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: it turns out that in life you can subscribe and 18 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: save with time. Two. When you subscribe to one process 19 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: metaphorically and use it again and again, you can save 20 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: a fair amount of time. So, for instance, maybe you 21 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: decide that one particular cookbook is your source of recipes. 22 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: You make several recipes from there, again and again. No 23 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: need to spend time figuring out what to bring to 24 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: a family gathering, no need to protest a recipe before 25 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: serving it to guests. You subscribe and save to recipes 26 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: in that book and thus save time anytime you need 27 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: to produce homemade food for something. You can also subscribe 28 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: and save a certain kid activities. We have a local 29 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: day camp that everyone's liked a reasonable amount, and so 30 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: whenever someone has a summer week where they need to 31 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: be busy, they get signed up for that. I know 32 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: there are other camps out there, and we do some 33 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: of them, but it is also nice to save time 34 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: on researching and get an experience that I know the 35 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: kids will like. You can subscribe and save with gifts 36 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: as well. Choose a go to gift for the holidays 37 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: and plan to give it to pretty much everyone. You 38 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: minimize the times spent shopping and have more time available 39 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: for celebrating the holidays with loved ones. Variety can be 40 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: a source of fun in life, and when doing something 41 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: new would give you joy, it's good to do it. 42 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: But some things in life are the equivalent of paper towels. 43 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: There is no real joy gained in researching different brands 44 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: and shopping for them in the store. Having those paper 45 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: towels show up automatically at a discount can save time 46 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: for more important things. It's the same with time. If 47 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: a new idea isn't fun for you, then repeating a 48 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: workable one it is perfectly fine. You can use the 49 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: saved time for something else other aspects of your life. 50 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: Where you subscribe and save with time, I'd like to 51 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: hear about them at Laura at Laura vandercam dot com. 52 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: In the meantime, this is Laura.
