What’s the most time-saving habit you’ve picked up? We are asking e14 in our Join, Share & Win Competition

E14Alice

A new month means a new AskE14!

Engineers, makers, and problem‑solvers are always finding smarter ways to work. From optimising workflows to automating repetitive tasks, small habits can add up to serious time savings.

This month, AskE14 is all about sharing the habits that help you work more efficiently, whether you’re designing, prototyping, debugging, documenting, or managing projects.

Time for the question:

What’s the most time-saving habit you’ve picked up? 

Time is a valuable resource in engineering. A simple habit — like better version control, smarter test setups, or clearer documentation. This can save hours down the line.

  • I always planned my work and then worked my plan.

    My bosses secretary gave me hell because I always blocked out my day for work and she could not find time to schedule meetings with her boss. I told her to send me the meeting request and I would accept it if I thought it was worth going to the meeting.

    Since we're addressing time-saving, I have to agree that's a great strategy. I used to just hide out in one of the labs or the library and claim I forgot if challenged (for the large group meetings that invariably went on for two hours). I also used the excuse of working on a proposal, since bringing in business always trumped everything.

    At one point I started being very vocal at work about this, requesting to only be invited to meetings where I was absolutely needed, and that has been a great time efficiency gain. There's seldom been a week that I've not managed to save time by asking "Am I really needed for this?"
